Compact one-bedroom ground-floor retirement flat with extended lease and High Street nearby.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat, no onward chain
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in Abbs Cross Gardens, offered with an extended lease and no onward chain. At about 431 sq ft the layout is compact and practical with a lounge, fitted kitchen and a well-proportioned bedroom suited to someone looking to downsize.
The building sits within easy walking distance of Hornchurch High Street, with shops, cafes and local amenities close by. Communal grounds and a parking area add convenience, and the property benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating and fast broadband/mobile signal.
This flat is aimed at over-55s seeking low-maintenance living in a central location. Buyers should note the small overall size and that communal areas show mid‑20th century styling that may need modernisation. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, so consider security and local support arrangements.
Value drivers are the extended lease, ground-floor access with no stairs, proximity to amenities and retirement-focused building features. The flat suits downsizers wanting central convenience and easy access, or those seeking a manageable, low‑upkeep home in Hornchurch.
