Set on the top floor of a well-kept development in Little Thurrock, this one-bedroom flat offers a long lease (circa 953 years) and no onward chain — making it straightforward to buy. The property benefits from an allocated sheltered parking bay, UPVC double glazing and electric heating, with elevated views across Grays from the lounge. Its location is convenient for Grays C2C station and main road links (A13/M25).
Internally the layout works for singles or couples: a bright lounge, separate U-shaped kitchen, double bedroom and a bathroom with an obscure double-glazed window. Serviceable fixtures and fittings are in place, but buyers should note the heating is electric and appliances should be professionally checked prior to exchange. The peppercorn ground rent and very long lease reduce common leasehold concerns.
Annual service charges are approximately £1,995.65 and council tax is band B — factor these running costs into affordability calculations. The development’s communal green spaces and sheltered parking add practical value, while fast broadband and good local schools make the flat suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-management asset.
Important note: mobility-impaired buyers should verify access arrangements to the top-floor apartment. All property details, including service charge and appliance condition, should be confirmed by your solicitor and surveyor before purchase.
