A compact, well-located one-bedroom first-floor flat with a private balcony — an accessible step onto the property ladder. The living room flows to a modern kitchen; the double bedroom is generous for the size. Double glazing and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
Positioned near local shops, leisure amenities and strong transport links (A13 into London), this flat suits first-time buyers or downsizers who value convenience. Crime levels are very low and nearby schools have good to outstanding Ofsted ratings, making the area feel settled and family-friendly.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 108 years remaining, an average service charge of around £1,600 per year and a small ground rent (£10). Broadband speeds are reported slow and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so upgrading connectivity or insulation could be necessary and would improve long-term comfort and value.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable purchase for someone prioritising location and low-maintenance living, with straightforward refurbishment opportunities to boost comfort and future resale value.
