This two-bedroom first-floor apartment is a practical entry into home ownership, located just a two-minute walk from the C2C mainline for direct London links. Internally the flat offers a spacious lounge, two bedrooms, a kitchen and family bathroom within a compact 517 sq ft footprint — a manageable space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical positives include allocated off-street parking, quick access to the A13 for road journeys and generally fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local schools have Good Ofsted ratings and everyday amenities — shops, doctors and public transport — are close by, making daily life straightforward for young families or commuters.
There are important facts to note: the property is leasehold with 76 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on shorter leases, so buyers should check finance options early. The building uses electric storage heaters (higher running costs than gas) and the area records very high crime levels — consider security and insurance implications.
Service charge applies (last recorded 2022 average) and there is a small ground rent (£200). Council tax is described as cheap. The flat was built after 2012 and benefits from double glazing and cavity-wall insulation, reducing immediate major maintenance needs. Overall, this is an affordable, well-placed starter home with clear potential, but buyers must factor in lease length, heating costs and local crime when deciding to view.
