Summary - 174 ROMFORD ROAD AVELEY SOUTH OCKENDON RM15 4PJ
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free three-bed maisonette with balcony overlooking park — ideal for first-time buyers or landlords.
Chain-free split-level maisonette above shops with park-facing balcony
This chain-free, split-level three-bedroom maisonette sits above local shops on Romford Road with a balcony facing the park. The layout spans two floors, providing a separate lounge/diner, separate kitchen and useful storage including a boarded loft — practical for a first home or a rental conversion. Natural light and park views are notable comforts in a compact footprint.
The property suits first-time buyers seeking value or landlords after a lettable, well-located flat. Interiors are liveable but dated in places; the bathroom and kitchen offer scope for modernisation to increase comfort and future resale or rental value. The small overall size and single bathroom mean space planning is important.
Important lease and cost facts: the flat is leasehold with 85 years remaining — this will need attention soon and could affect mortgage options and resale. Annual service charge is about £1,100 and ground rent approximately £10. The building is above shops, so there may be some street noise and access is via an external balcony and rear entry.
Location strengths include direct park-facing views, nearby primary and secondary schools, convenient local shops and fast broadband and mobile signal. The wider area is economically deprived and classed as a hampered neighbourhood, with average crime levels; buyers should consider these factors alongside the strong transport links to A13, A127 and the M25.
Overall this is a practical, budget-friendly three-bedroom home with clear potential after modest updating — attractive to first-time buyers who can manage lease renewal planning, or investors prepared to modernise for rental demand.
