Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac between Parkwood and Wigmore, this first-floor one-bedroom flat offers a practical, open-plan layout and private allocated parking. The living space benefits from a bay window and an easy-to-manage footprint, making it suitable for a single buyer, couple, or an investor seeking a low-maintenance let. Local shops, a doctor’s surgery and good road and rail links (Rainham station nearby) put essentials close to hand.
The property is chain-free, which can speed up a sale. Service charge and ground rent are modest at £868 and £60 per year respectively, and broadband and mobile signals are strong. The interior is tidy and functional; the bathroom would benefit from a cosmetic update if you prefer fully modern finishes. The building dates from the 1980s and presents as well-maintained externally.
Important lease information makes this most suitable for cash buyers or buyers prepared to extend the lease. There are 65 years remaining on the lease; many lenders will refuse a mortgage at that term. The sellers indicate a lease extension can be arranged on completion, with an approximate cost of £20,000 to extend — add this to purchase costs if you require mortgage finance.
Overall, this is a compact, conveniently located flat with clear positives for those able to buy cash or fund a lease extension. It will attract attention from buyers seeking a straightforward, low-upkeep home or an investor prepared to manage the lease position.
