Step into a light, well-proportioned one-bedroom flat on Goresbrook Road, a short walk from Becontree station and local shops. The 548 sq ft layout includes an entrance hall, a spacious lounge-diner with bay window, separate kitchen, double-glazed windows and resident off-street parking — practical features for everyday living and commuting.
This leasehold home has 101 years remaining and is heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators. Service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (approximately £1,700 and £150 per year respectively). Broadband speeds are reported slow locally, which could affect home working or streaming without upgrades.
The property sits in an area classified as a social-renting neighbourhood with higher deprivation levels, so prospective buyers should weigh local socioeconomic factors. On the positive side, several well-rated state schools are nearby and transport links (Becontree station, A13) make it straightforward for city commutes or access to amenities.
Suitable for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the area or an investor wanting a lettable one-bed close to transport. The flat is structurally straightforward — constructed in the 1980s with cavity walls and double glazing — but it offers scope for cosmetic updating to maximise rental or resale value.
