Heating is via electric storage heaters and double glazing is fitted; the kitchen dates from the 1980s and offers clear scope for sympathetic updating if desired.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with approximately 64 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage options and deter some buyers. Annual costs include a service charge (approx. £2,314) and ground rent (approx. £254). Council tax is modest and the location benefits from low crime, excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds.
This home will suit downsizers or retirees seeking a manageable flat in a comfortable neighbourhood, with easy access to local shops and Mistley railway station. Buyers should check financing options given the lease length and factor in potential refurbishment and ongoing service charges.
