Quietly tucked in a small purpose-built block, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment is aimed at buyers aged 55+ seeking low-maintenance living close to Rayleigh High Street. The flat benefits from a generous lease (circa 959 years), no onward chain and communal off-street parking, making it straightforward to purchase and occupy.
The accommodation is compact and practical: an open-plan lounge/dining room, separate fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room. Communal grounds provide some outdoor space without garden upkeep, and local rail and town centre amenities are within easy walking distance.
The property is offered in dated condition and requires full modernisation throughout. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the flat has double glazing installed before 2002; buyers should budget for updating kitchens, bathroom, finishes and potentially heating upgrades to improve comfort and running costs.

Note the local area records above-average crime statistics — consider this when arranging viewings and insurance.
