A compact, ready-to-move studio on a quiet no-through road in Harold Hill, offered chain-free and freshly refreshed. The flat has a recently fitted bathroom, made-to-measure storage, and double glazing throughout, making it a low-effort home for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. An integrated kitchen and open-plan main room keep the layout simple and practical.
Practical running costs are clear: council tax is very cheap, and the property benefits from both a mains gas boiler with radiators and newly installed digital electric heaters. There is a garage for parking or storage and easy walking access to local shops, supermarkets and regular bus links to Harold Wood and Romford stations.
Important lease and service details are straightforward but material: the flat is leasehold with 83 years remaining, a service charge of about £1,313 per year and ground rent of £10 per year. The wider neighbourhood is in a very deprived area, which affects local amenity levels and may influence long-term resale values.
For a buyer wanting minimal immediate work, this studio is largely move-in ready. It suits someone seeking an affordable entry into the area, or an investor looking for a low-maintenance unit close to transport and local schools. Be aware of the lease length and ongoing service charges when assessing long-term value.
