This first-floor one-bedroom flat on Crow Lane offers a practical, chain-free entry into Romford ownership. The apartment includes a generous front lounge, a separate kitchen and a compact bedroom—sensible rooms for day-to-day living. A remaining lease of around 118 years and a share of freehold provide reasonable long-term security for buyers.
The property sits above a retail parade in a mid-terrace building from the early 20th century. Expect street-facing views and an urban setting close to local shops, bus links and green space; Central Park and a range of schools are within easy reach. Off-street parking for one car is a useful benefit in this busy area.
Practical elements: gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and an average overall footprint of about 589 sq ft. The flat is presented as habitable but with dated finishes (1980s-style living room details) and a façade showing wear—some cosmetic updating or refurbishment will likely be wanted to bring the interior up to contemporary standards.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-hassle purchase or an investor targeting buy-to-let potential. Note the mixed-use building character and lack of private garden space: outdoor options are minimal. Buyers should factor modest modernisation and ongoing maintenance into their budgets.
