Chain-free 2-bed maisonette near Basildon station — long lease and allocated parking.
Chain-free two-bedroom maisonette, approx. 700 sq ft
This chain-free two-bedroom maisonette in Kingswood Court offers a straightforward entry into Basildon property, with a long 150-year lease and allocated parking. The apartment provides a bright reception room, modern fitted kitchen and a practical layout across approximately 700 sq ft — a compact, manageable home or rental unit.
Location is a primary draw: a five-minute walk to Basildon train station with direct links to London, good bus routes and quick road access to the A127/A13. Local services including shops, GP surgeries, Eastgate Shopping Centre and Basildon Hospital are all within easy reach, and a mix of primary and secondary schools sit nearby.
Costs and constraints are clear: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £1,200 and ground rent of £200 (both paid biannually). The wider neighbourhood shows high crime levels and very high area deprivation; buyers should factor local social and safety considerations into any decision. The communal garden is shared and maintenance responsibility will sit with the managing service.
For investors the long lease and strong transport links support rental demand, while first-time buyers will find a manageable, low-maintenance home close to amenities. The building is double-glazed with mains gas central heating; there is no reported flood risk. Buyers seeking a quiet, low-cost purchase should consider on-site social conditions and ongoing service charges.
