Set on the ground floor of a mid-century development in the heart of Loughton, this two-bedroom flat offers comfortable, well-proportioned living with immediate access to green space. The generous lounge/diner and two double bedrooms suit a small family or professionals wanting easy access to the forest and local schools. A private section of communal garden is accessed directly from bedroom two, while attractive communal lawns are maintained by the development.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking and share of freehold ownership, giving longer-term control over the building. The apartment has double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a large storage cupboard — sensible, everyday comforts for suburban life close to shops and transport links.
Buyers should note a few material points: broadband speeds are slow in the immediate area, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may mean higher heating use and potential retrofit costs. The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s so some buyers may wish to update finishes over time.
Overall this is a practical, well-located two-bedroom home with outdoor space and parking — a good choice for families or investors seeking a comfortable flat with potential to improve energy efficiency and modernise interiors.
