A bright top-floor two-bedroom maisonette with its own private roof terrace and practical living space, suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property sits within easy reach of Pitsea shopping centre and is about 3/4 mile from Pitsea station for direct c2c services to London, making daily commutes straightforward. The lounge/diner (18'1") and 14'4" kitchen open onto the generous roof terrace, providing useful outdoor space where a ground-level garden is not available.
The home is presented in good order and benefits from a recently installed boiler (fitted July), double glazing and integral garages/communal parking at ground level. Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a three-piece bathroom and practical storage. Nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings and local amenities include shops, bus links and leisure facilities.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, a ground rent of £10 pa and a service charge averaging £1,560 per year (£390 quarterly). EPC rating D; the block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further energy improvements may be needed. The neighbourhood scores high on local deprivation and recorded crime levels are above average, which may affect long-term resale or rental premiums.
Overall, this maisonette offers affordable access to transport links and outdoor space via the roof terrace, plus immediate usability due to recent boiler installation. It represents a workable purchase for a first-time buyer seeking commuter convenience or an investor prepared to accept the lease length and area-context when assessing yield and longer-term value-add potential.
