Ground-floor one-bed with parking near Lakeside and Chafford station — needs modernisation.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, 491 sq ft
This one-bedroom ground-floor flat in Chafford Hundred offers straightforward investment or first-home potential close to Lakeside Retail Park and Chafford train station. The flat has a private entrance, allocated off-street parking and double glazing, with gas central heating and a fitted kitchen — useful practical features for tenants or owner-occupiers.
The property is sold as a share of freehold with 98 years remaining on the lease and a below-average service charge of £840 per year. At 491 sq ft the layout is traditional and efficient; broadband speeds and mobile signal are both strong in this major conurbation location. Nearby highly rated schools and local amenities add to long-term appeal.
Important considerations: the flat has been let for eight years and is described as needing renovation. Internal modernisation will be required to update finishes and systems to current standards. The neighbourhood records higher local crime levels, which some buyers should weigh against the area’s overall affluence and transport links.
This is a straightforward purchase for a buy-to-let investor or a buyer willing to complete cosmetic and systems upgrades to secure a comfortable home in a well-connected, amenity-rich area.
