This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers practical, entry-level ownership in South Ockendon. Its secure phone-entry and double-glazed windows give immediate comfort, while the tucked-away position on Danbury Crescent keeps daily access simple and convenient.
The layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward, manageable home. Transport links are a real strength: nearby bus routes, Ockendon Station and quick access to the A13 and M25 put commuting and Lakeside shopping within easy reach. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note this is a small property (564 sq ft) with electric storage heating, which can be more expensive than gas heating. The building sits in an area classified as very deprived with ‘hampered aspiration’ indicators; local services and long-term growth may be limited compared with higher-performing neighbourhoods.
The flat is leasehold with 156 years remaining and an extended lease is arranged on completion, reducing typical leasehold purchase friction. Other positives include low council tax, low crime, and recently installed double glazing. Overall, this is a practical, well-located starter home that is honest about its size and running-cost considerations.
