This top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers practical commuter living in Purfleet-on-Thames, with Purfleet C2C station within walking distance and easy road access to the A13 and M25. The open-plan living area and balcony bring light and a sense of space across the apartment’s 658 sq ft, while double glazing and a relatively recent build (1996–2002) reduce immediate maintenance concerns. The property is offered chain free and sits on a long lease (approx. 133 years remaining).
The local area suits families who need good transport links and nearby schools: an Outstanding-rated primary (Harris Primary Academy Mayflower) and Good-rated secondary (Harris Academy Riverside) are close by. Parking is included via a garage, which is a rare convenience for town-centre apartments, and the layout offers straightforward rental or owner-occupier potential for commuters or investors.
Be aware of material drawbacks: the area records higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, and broadband speeds are slow — factors that may affect lifestyle and rental appeal. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas alternatives. Ongoing running costs include an average service charge of £2,400 per year and ground rent of £228.
This property suits buyers prioritising transport links and a low-hassle purchase (no onward chain), and those willing to accept higher local crime and infrastructure limitations in return for a conveniently located, well-presented top-floor home or investment. Viewing is recommended to judge the apartment and surroundings in person.
