Chain-free one-bed maisonette with garden, five minutes from District Line station..
Chain free ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette
A chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette with its own private rear garden, set a five-minute walk from Dagenham Heathway District Line station. Internally the layout is straightforward: a comfortable lounge, fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom across about 496 sq ft — practical for a first-time buyer or a single occupant.
The flat benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, so immediate internal works are likely minimal. The long lease (101 years) and low ground rent make purchase straightforward, while the central location and fast broadband/strong mobile signal suit commuting and rental demand.
Buyers should note some material points: the property sits in a very deprived local area and the exterior and garden show post‑war, dated features that could use attention. There is an annual service charge of around £1,008 and a small ground rent (£10). The property was built mid‑20th century, so prospective purchasers should consider routine maintenance checks (roofing, services) as part of budgeting.
Overall this maisonette offers an affordable, ready-to-live-in entry into the market with clear rental and commuter appeal, tempered by local area challenges and external maintenance needs. It suits someone seeking a low-commitment first purchase or an investor targeting steady rental income close to transport links.
