0.3 miles to East Grinstead mainline station (excellent location)
Fitted kitchen with integrated appliances; modern finish
Service charge £500pa; ground rent £350pa; insurance £385pa
Electric heating (boiler and radiators) — potentially higher running costs
Small bathroom and limited storage due to studio layout
Local area records higher-than-average crime — factor for buyers
Set in the centre of East Grinstead, this compact first-floor studio offers straightforward, chain-free entry to the property market or a simple lettable investment. The layout combines a fitted kitchen with inset appliances and a long lounge/bedroom, maximising usable space across 334 sq ft. Being only 0.3 miles from the mainline station, the flat is well placed for commuters and town-centre convenience.
The lease is healthy at 115 years, and running costs are clear: an annual service charge of £500, ground rent of £350 and buildings insurance of £385. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators; note that electric tariffs can be more expensive than gas where used as the main fuel. The building is contemporary with modern kitchen fittings and communal bins and bike store.
Practical drawbacks are factual and important: the apartment is small, so storage and living space are limited, and the local area records higher crime levels than average. The property will suit a single buyer, commuter, or investor seeking a centrally located, low-maintenance studio but may not meet larger household needs.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase: low entry price, long lease and excellent transport links balance the compact size and local crime statistics. Buyers seeking a town-centre pied-à-terre, first home or rental asset should view to assess space and potential.
