Summary - 21 THE GLEN VANGE BASILDON SS16 4XJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, move-in-ready flat near Pitsea station and local schools.
Two double bedrooms with modern bathroom and rainfall shower
This two-bedroom second-floor flat offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation in a modern block constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s. The apartment has a stylish fitted kitchen, a contemporary bathroom with rainfall shower and vanity unit, and two well-proportioned double bedrooms—suitable for a first home or rental. At 582 sq ft the layout is compact but comfortable, with double glazing and communal green spaces adding to everyday comfort.
Practical running costs are clear: electric storage heaters supply the property, council tax is band B, service charges average £1,600 per year and ground rent is £120 per year. The property sits within catchment for Maple Grove Primary and near several other local schools, and Pitsea station provides good commuter links. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note material considerations: the flat is leasehold with about 70 years remaining — lenders may refuse mortgages or impose stricter terms, and lease escalation can affect long-term value. The surrounding area has a very high recorded crime level and the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived; these factors are important for families and investors to weigh against the property’s conveniences.
Overall this is a compact, modern flat that suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a ready-to-live-in unit with strong connectivity to transport and local amenities. The combination of modern finishes and clear service costs makes budgeting straightforward, but the limited lease and local crime statistics are significant factors for mortgageability and resale potential.
