This top-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a newly decorated, ready-to-move-in starter home or buy-to-let in Basildon. The open-plan lounge/kitchen, newly laid carpet and gas central heating create a straightforward, low-maintenance living space with pleasant elevated views across the town.
Practical positives include a security entrance system, double glazing and easy access to local amenities and major routes (A127/A13). The property is offered with no onward chain and would suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry or an investor targeting rental demand.
Buyers should note material location and tenure considerations: the wider area scores as very deprived with higher crime levels and the neighbourhood is classified as hampered. The flat is leasehold; buyers must check lease length, service charges and council tax banding. The building is a mid-20th-century system-built block with internal insulation — suitable for many buyers but worth surveying for longer-term maintenance or structural considerations.
