Set on the first floor of the Central House development, this impeccably presented two-bedroom apartment offers almost 800 sq ft of contemporary living. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen is bright and practical, and the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower. With an additional WC and utility room, the layout suits a couple, small family or commuter seeking low-maintenance town living.
Residents have use of high-quality communal facilities including a gym, yoga room, resident lounge, podium and communal gardens, plus an allocated off-street parking space and 24-hour CCTV. The long lease (244 years remaining) and affordable council tax support good ownership certainty for a leasehold purchase.
The location scores for transport links — quick access to the M25, A127, A12 and Brentwood station on the Elizabeth line — and local schools are strong, from good-rated primaries to well-regarded secondaries and independent options nearby. These factors suit first-time buyers or investors prioritising connectivity and local amenities.
Buyers should note material negatives: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and recorded local crime levels are high. While the apartment itself is presented to a high standard, prospective purchasers should verify service charges, lease details and consider practical security measures given the neighbourhood crime statistic.
