A well-presented two-bedroom apartment arranged with an open-plan 22' kitchen/living area and a balcony, ideal for compact city-centre living. The master bedroom includes an en-suite and there is a second bathroom, making the layout practical for sharers or a small family. The property benefits from a very long lease (about 980 years) and modern finishes throughout, with double glazing and contemporary sanitaryware.
Practical considerations include electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can increase running costs, and a service charge of approximately £2,471.12 per year plus an annual ground rent of about £300. The apartment has no private garden, only a small communal paved forecourt and a balcony for outdoor space.
Location is a key selling point: roughly 0.6 miles from Romford Elizabeth Line station and within easy walking distance of Romford town centre amenities and shops. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. Note the local area records very high crime levels — worth investigating personally and considering security measures.
Offered with a guide price of £250,000–£260,000, this compact flat suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable entry into the area or investors seeking a centrally located rental. Buyers should factor in service charges, electric heating running costs, and the urban setting when deciding to view.
