Long lease one-bedroom flat, close to two tube stations—ideal first-time buy with scope to personalise.
Walking distance to Dagenham Heathway and Becontree stations
This one-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a quiet development within easy walking distance of Dagenham Heathway and Becontree stations, making it well placed for zone 5 commuters. The living room is a comfortable size with a large window and neutral decor; the bedroom is generous for a one-bed apartment. A modern fitted kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating provide practical, move-in-ready comforts.
Practical details make this a sensible choice for a first-time buyer: a long lease (123 years remaining), low ground rent and proximity to several well-rated schools. The property’s layout offers straightforward day-to-day living and modest running costs with Council Tax in Band B.
Important considerations are clearly stated: the service charge is relatively high at £2,558 per annum and parking is on-street by permit only. The wider area records higher crime levels and the block shows some mid-20th century wear that may need ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall, this flat suits someone seeking an affordable entry into the area with good transport links and school options, who is comfortable managing a higher service charge and on-street parking rather than allocated parking.
