Summary - 130 Swanstead SS16 4PB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable first-floor flat with good transport links and communal parking.
Long lease — 122 years remaining
A bright, first-floor one-bedroom apartment with a long lease and straightforward running costs — a good entry point to ownership or buy-to-let. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner (about 20' x 11'2") is dual aspect, bringing pleasant natural light and flexible living space for cooking, dining and relaxing. Built-in storage in the hallway and bathroom helps keep the footprint efficient.
Practical details make this easy to manage: 122 years remaining on the lease, council tax in Band A (low), and communal gardens with plentiful off-street parking. The property is within comfortable walking distance of Pitsea town centre and direct rail links into London, suiting commuters and those who value nearby amenities.
Be realistic about local context. The area records higher crime levels and significant deprivation indicators; buyers should factor local conditions into their plans. The apartment is accessed via communal stairs (no lift) and forms part of a mid-20th-century block, so expect typical maintenance considerations for this era. Annual service, maintenance and ground rent totals approximately £1,410.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home near transport links, or an investor after a lettable, well-priced unit. Internal inspection will best convey the scale and light; this is a practical, value-focused opportunity rather than a turnkey luxury purchase.
