Chain free one-bedroom first-floor flat, bright dual-aspect living room
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom first-floor apartment in a modern development, positioned close to local shops, the nearby lake and community centre. The living room is bright with dual-aspect windows and there’s a fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer and space for laundry. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the flat benefits from an allocated parking space and attractive communal lawns.
This property suits a first-time buyer or commuter seeking low-maintenance living with good links: Tollgate retail park, the A12 and Marks Tey station are all within easy reach. The building is relatively recent (constructed c.2003–2006) and has double glazing plus gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note this is a small apartment (approximately 396 sq ft) offered as leasehold. Annual service charge is £1,660 and ground rent £150; the lease started in December 2000 (original term 125 years). The area is generally affluent but local recorded crime is above average, which some purchasers may want to investigate further.
Overall this flat represents an affordable entry into the area with immediate convenience and low internal upkeep, though the size and ongoing leasehold costs are important factors to consider before viewing.
