This newly renovated two-bedroom apartment sits on the top (second) floor in the heart of Upminster, a short 0.3-mile walk from District Line and Overground services. The flat feels bright and contemporary thanks to an open-plan lounge/kitchen, genuine stone worktops, new appliances and underfloor heating throughout. A private balcony/terrace is unoverlooked and the apartment overlooks the historic St Laurence churchyard.
Practical features include a gated, covered allocated parking space, new electrics and a long lease (approx. 159 years remaining). The property is offered chain free and presents as a ready-to-move-in first home or a let-ready investment with a compact but efficient layout of around 600 sqft.
Buyers should note the service charge is about £1,500 per year and ground rent is £120 per year. The overall internal size is modest and the stated floor area excludes built-in wardrobe space. The wider location is affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but recorded local crime levels are high — factor this into insurance and rental considerations.
For families the block is within walking distance of several well-rated primary and secondary schools; for commuters the proximity to shops, cafes and the station makes day-to-day living straightforward. Overall this is a recently upgraded, low-maintenance flat that balances central convenience with secure parking and outdoor private space.
