A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette set within a well-kept, age-restricted development for residents over 60. The apartment offers a generous lounge/diner, a double bedroom, a fitted kitchen and a private ground-level garden that opens directly from the property—ideal for light gardening or relaxed outdoor seating. Communal grounds are a standout feature, with attractive lawns and planting maintained for residents’ use.
Practical strengths include off-street parking (unallocated), a long lease of 106 years and immediate vacant possession (no chain). The layout feels roomy for a one-bedroom home, with the lounge and bedroom providing comfortable living space and straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation suited to downsizers or those seeking a quieter location close to everyday amenities.
Buyers should note the annual running costs: a service charge of approximately £2,126.59 and ground rent of £375 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC rating is D; some buyers may wish to consider energy upgrades to lower running costs. There is no allocated parking space, and prospective purchasers should confirm all service charge and lease details with their solicitor.
Located near Rainham’s shops and transport links, this maisonette combines convenience with peaceful communal gardens. For a buyer seeking an easy-to-manage, ground-floor retirement apartment with outside space and a ready-to-move-in condition, this property represents a sensible, well-presented option.
