A compact one-bedroom apartment in Wickhay offering an affordable entry to Basildon’s housing market. The flat sits in a mid-20th-century brick block, with a medium lounge/diner that opens to a Juliette balcony, double bedroom with storage, separate kitchen and a three-piece bathroom. Wooden-style flooring and a feature fireplace give the living space a clean, move-in condition feel.
Practical strengths include communal off-street parking, a rear storage shed, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location is a major asset: a short walk to Basildon town centre and Basildon train station, making it highly convenient for commuters and local amenities. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
Important lease and fabric facts are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 89 years remaining, an annual service charge of £964.54 and a ground rent of £10. The block was built c.1950–66 with solid brick walls (no known wall insulation) and double glazing of unknown installation date. These factors may affect mortgage availability and future running costs.
This flat suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a well-located, low-maintenance property to occupy or let. There is scope to modernise the kitchen and bathroom to add value, but prospective purchasers should instruct solicitors to confirm lease terms, mortgageability and any planned works or charges before exchange.
