A freshly renovated one-bedroom first-floor flat with no onward chain, suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a move-in ready home close to transport links. The apartment benefits from a re-fitted kitchen and bathroom, a large 17' reception room and allocated off-street parking. At about 444 sq ft with double glazing and modern finishes, the flat presents good immediate rental or owner-occupier appeal.
Practical considerations include a 97-year lease, an average annual service charge of £1,639 and ground rent of £450. Heating is by electric storage heaters—convenient for a low-maintenance setup but potentially more costly than gas alternatives. The property has an EPC rating of C which is reasonable for its age but not top tier.
Location strengths are strong road links to the A13, M25 and Lakeside shopping centre, plus fast broadband—useful for commuters and working-from-home. Local schools include two highly rated academies nearby. Be aware the wider area shows higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators; buyers should factor local condition and amenity context into their decision.
Overall this is a practical, ready-to-live-in one-bedroom flat that reduces immediate renovation worry and suits someone prioritising convenience and low upfront work. Leasehold charges and electric heating costs are the main recurring expenses to review before committing.
