This purpose-built two-bedroom flat on Parham Drive offers practical city living on the fifth floor of a contemporary block. At about 646 sq ft, the layout includes an open-plan living area with balcony, a fitted kitchen, a master bedroom with en-suite shower, plus a second bedroom and family bathroom — a useful arrangement for sharers, first-time buyers, or a buy-to-let purchase.
The location is a genuine convenience asset: Gants Hill Underground station is within walking distance, and high-street shops, supermarkets and local amenities are nearby. The building benefits from a communal entrance with video entry, lift access, double glazing and gas central heating; the EPC rating of 80 (C) means energy performance is above average for a modern apartment.
Practical costs and tenure are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with c.232 years remaining, offered chain free. Service charge is approximately £3,000pa and ground rent £250pa — factors to allow for in monthly budgeting. Council tax is described as affordable.
Notable drawbacks are flagged honestly: the property sits in an area with higher recorded crime rates, which may concern some buyers. The relatively high annual service charge will affect running costs, and the apartment’s fifth-floor position means reliance on the lift. Overall this is a clean, modern flat with commuter appeal and clear running costs to consider.
