This one-bedroom leasehold flat offers an affordable entry to Basildon with no onward chain and a long 114-year lease. The accommodation centres on a large open-plan living area, separate kitchen and a private balcony that enjoys countryside views — rare for this price bracket. A spacious hallway includes a generous storage cupboard, useful for everyday living or rental turnover.
Practical running costs are clear: mains gas central heating, double glazing, an average service charge of £1,065pa and a modest ground rent of £100pa. Council tax is very low. The block dates from the 1960s, so there is scope for cosmetic updating and possible improvement to wall insulation and finishes to increase comfort and value.
Transport links are a genuine strength: easy access to Pitsea and Basildon C2C stations and the A13/A12/A127 corridors make commuting straightforward. Local amenities include supermarkets, gyms and schools, which supports both first-time buyers and buy-to-let demand. The area shows high deprivation indicators and the neighbourhood classification suggests local challenges; prospective buyers should weigh these factors against the flat’s affordability and transport advantages.
