Modern first-floor apartment with balcony, carport and long lease — ideal for commuters.
0.5 miles to Purfleet train station — strong commuter links
Light-filled and well-presented, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers practical commuter living just 0.5 miles from Purfleet station. The L-shaped lounge/diner opens onto a balcony overlooking a landscaped greensward, giving pleasant outdoor outlooks from a compact 564 sq ft footprint. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower and built-in wardrobe; a modern kitchen and bathroom complete the layout.
The building was constructed in 2011 and has modern fittings throughout, including double glazing and mains gas central heating. Practical running costs are reasonable: a service charge around £150 pcm and council tax in an affordable band. A long lease of about 112–113 years provides security for buyers and investors.
Practical conveniences include an allocated carport space, communal landscaped areas and a secure intercom entrance. The location offers excellent road links to the M25 and A13, and local schools with generally good Ofsted ratings are nearby, making the flat suitable for commuting first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking steady rental demand.
Buyers should note some material points: the property footprint is compact, so storage and living space are limited compared with larger flats; postcode-level crime is reported as high, which may affect buyer preference and insurance costs. Ground rent of about £400 per year applies — check lease terms with your solicitor prior to exchange.
