Summary - Churchill Avenue, Basildon, Essex SS14 3SB
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Second-floor home with parking and long lease, near transport links.
Open-plan lounge/kitchen, light-filled and contemporary
A bright, contemporary two-bedroom apartment on the second floor, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking modern, low-maintenance living. The open-plan lounge/kitchen is light-filled and practical, with integrated appliances and space for dining; the principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower and a second double bedroom provides flexible sleeping or home-office space.
Practical benefits include lift access to the second floor, an allocated off-street parking space and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The long lease (986 years) removes common long-lease worries, but note this is a leasehold property with an average service charge of £3,794 and a small ground rent of £150 per year — factor these into ongoing costs.
The building is modern and well-maintained, built since 2012 with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The property sits close to local amenities, bus links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools, making it a convenient base for commuting and family life.
Be pragmatic about location: the wider area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime rates and a challenged local classification. The apartment itself is compact at 557 sq ft, so buyers who need larger living areas or outdoor garden space should consider this before viewing. Overall, this is a practical, modern home with long-term security on the lease and straightforward commuting links.
