Modern one-bed flat with long lease and allocated parking, ideal for first-time buyers.
Top-floor, one-bedroom flat in 2015 development
Set on the top (second) floor of a modern 2015 development, this one-bedroom apartment offers a bright open-plan living room and kitchen with dual-aspect windows. The well-proportioned bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe, and the flat benefits from good storage, a bathroom with shower-over-bath and an allocated parking space to the rear.
Practical for commuters, the home sits a short drive from Basildon station and main roads, with local shops and bus routes within walking distance. The long lease (242 years) gives ownership security, while mains gas central heating and double glazing provide everyday comfort. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should note material costs: an annual service charge of approximately £2,330 and ground rent of £250 per year. The property is leasehold. The immediate neighbourhood records very high crime levels and local area classifications indicate social and economic challenges—factors to consider for residents or investors.
This compact flat will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a modern, low-maintenance home near transport links. There is scope to personalise finishes, but any buyer should budget for the ongoing service charge and factor neighbourhood statistics into resale or letting plans.
