This well-presented first-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, low-maintenance home in a quiet residential pocket of Romford. The apartment’s long lease (circa 962 years) and allocated off-street parking provide practical ownership benefits often sought by first-time buyers. The open-plan living area and modern finishes make the space feel contemporary and easy to manage.
At about 377 sq ft the flat is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking an affordable entry into the area. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives and may suit buyers who expect light, intermittent occupancy. The service charge is currently around £1,857 per year; factor this and council tax into running costs.
Transport links into Romford and Ilford, nearby shops and places of worship add everyday convenience, and local primary and secondary schools include several rated Good or Outstanding. The building dates from the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing and communal grounds.
Material negatives to note: the property sits in a higher-crime area, and the overall footprint is small compared with many one-beds. Buyers should verify all details (appliances, tenure, and service charges) and consider heating cost implications before committing. An open house is available by appointment this Saturday.
