This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into West Thurrock with practical transport links and immediate move-in potential. At 506 sq ft the layout is compact but sensible: open-plan living/kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and storage—suitable for a first home or buy-to-let starter.
Key conveniences include allocated off-street parking with gated rear access, close proximity to Lakeside Shopping Centre and direct links to the A13 and M25 for commuting. The building is modern (built 2007–2011), has double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
There are important caveats to note: the lease has about 80 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse lending until the lease is extended. The local area shows higher crime and relative deprivation levels, which may affect resale or tenant demand. The flat is small and will suit buyers comfortable with compact living or those willing to refurbish to maximise space and value.
Overall this chain-free flat is best for a first-time buyer looking for an affordable, well-connected home they can personalise, or an investor prepared to manage the lease and local-market considerations.
