Summary - 3 Atherton House, Leyburn Crescent RM3 8RS
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-connected, low-maintenance flat ideal for commuters or investors.
Long lease around 117 years remaining
This one-bedroom first-floor flat offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with excellent commuter links via the Elizabeth Line at Harold Wood. The long lease (circa 117 years) and off-street parking make it attractive to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a well-located entry-level property.
Inside, a spacious living room opens onto a private balcony, while a good-sized double bedroom provides ample storage potential. The separate modern kitchen overlooks communal gardens and the shower room has been updated, so immediate major works inside are unlikely.
The development provides communal gardens, a laundry drying area and secure entry, but the building is mid-20th century and external maintenance will be required over time. Construction details suggest solid brick walls with assumed minimal insulation. Service charge and ground rent are modest by tenure (£1,000 and £10 respectively, amounts listed as unknown), and council tax is noted as very cheap.
Location strengths are genuine: fast links into Central London, major road access (M25/A12/A127) and nearby schools rated Good. Be mindful that the wider area is classified as having high deprivation and the building shows signs of ageing; buyers wanting a pristine finish or high-end neighbourhood amenities should factor in possible communal repairs and fabric upgrades.
