Summary - 20 VERNON CORNER STOCK INGATESTONE CM4 9TD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, low-maintenance home near village amenities and commuter links.
Chain free one-bedroom maisonette with private street-level entrance
A compact, purpose-built one-bedroom maisonette arranged over two floors, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The ground-floor private entrance and first-floor living space deliver a clear separation between entry and living areas, making efficient use of 457 sq ft. The bright lounge links to a neat fitted kitchen; there is a separate bedroom, bathroom and useful loft storage alongside communal drying facilities and an enclosed bin store.
Practical running costs are apparent: Economy 7 electric storage heating and electric main fuel mean predictable installation but higher energy bills versus gas. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may affect home-working; mobile signal is excellent. The lease has approximately 96 years remaining and the service charge is £654.28 per year (below average), with affordable council tax banding.
Location is a genuine strength for first-time buyers or downsizers. The home sits within walking distance of the village centre with shops, pubs and a café; resident off-street parking is to the rear. For commuters, Billericay mainline station is around three miles away, providing direct services to London Liverpool Street. Constructed in the late 1980s, the building is modern and low-maintenance, suited to someone wanting a simple, small-footprint home or a rental investment with straightforward management.
Buyers should note the compact room sizes and the traditional maisonette layout when considering furniture and storage. The property offers scope for cosmetic updating to personalise the kitchen and bathroom; there are no reported flooding risks and the local area is described as prospering countryside life within a wider challenged transitionaries district.
