This spacious two-bedroom second-floor flat in Chafford Hundred offers an unusually large footprint for a first purchase — approximately 1,257 sq ft — arranged over three main rooms with a generous living area and well-sized bedrooms. Built around 2003–2006, the property presents modern construction, double glazing and gas central heating, so you move into a comfortable, low-risk home with contemporary finishes.
Positioning is a key strength: chain-free sale, under one mile from Chafford Hundred station for easy commuting, and quick access to the A13 and M25. Allocated off-street parking, a communal landscaped approach and proximity to several highly rated local schools (including two Outstanding primaries) make this a practical choice for young buyers or couples planning for a family.
Practical running costs and constraints are clear and factually stated. The flat is leasehold with about 102 years remaining; annual service charge is approximately £2,400 and ground rent about £120. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and local recorded crime is average. These are important considerations for budgeting and day-to-day living.
Overall, this large, modern flat is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking space and transport links rather than a turnkey luxury finish. It offers good long-term potential thanks to its size, location and chain-free status, but buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, leasehold tenure and possible broadband limitations when assessing value.
