A well-presented two-bedroom ground floor flat ideal for a first home or buy-to-let. The flat has a 14' lounge, fitted kitchen, and a private rear garden of about 30' — a useful outdoor space for pottering or a small seating area. Off-street parking for two cars adds day-to-day convenience in this residential street.
Practical running costs are reasonable: mains gas central heating, a recently replaced roof (2023) with a 30-year guarantee, and nominal ground rent of £5 per year. The property is offered with approximately 90 years remaining on the lease, which makes it habitable now but may affect mortgage choices or future lease-extension costs.
Note the flat is compact (around 571 sq ft) with an EPC rating of D and average broadband speeds. The bathroom and separate WC are modest in size. These factors, together with the sub-100-year lease, are important for buyers to consider, especially lenders or longer-term investors.
For a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in home near local shops, schools and Benfleet station, this flat offers sensible value with clear scope for personalisation. For investors, the combination of location, garden and parking is attractive, but check lender criteria and potential upgrade costs before committing.
