This third-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Pulse Court offers straightforward, modern living close to Romford town centre and transport links into London. The open-plan lounge/kitchen opens onto a sizeable balcony, adding outdoor space to a compact 496 sq ft layout — a useful combination for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance urban homes.
Constructed after 2012 with double glazing and cavity-wall insulation, the property benefits from a long lease (114 years remaining) and chain-free completion. Practical details include a video entry phone system, community heating scheme and generally fast broadband and mobile signal. Council tax levels are described as affordable and local crime levels are low, supporting everyday comfort and security.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an average annual service charge of £1,300 and a ground rent of £250. The community heating arrangement means heating bills are managed through the scheme rather than an individual boiler, which can limit control over individual usage and costs. The apartment is an average-sized one-bed with a traditional layout — attractive for someone seeking a move-in-ready city base but with limited scope for major extension.
Local amenities include shops, Lidl, bus services and Jubilee Park within walking distance, while several well-rated primary and secondary schools serve the area. Overall this is a practical, low-hassle option for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a modern, well-located one-bedroom close to Romford transport and town facilities.
