This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in semi-rural Ongar offers bright, practical living across approximately 626 sq ft. The open-plan lounge and diner, modern kitchen and contemporary family bathroom provide a move-in-ready layout well suited to first-time buyers seeking outdoor space without the maintenance of a house. The private large garden and off-street parking add rare, practical benefits for an apartment of this size.
The property is leasehold with 105 years remaining. There is an annual service charge of £1,919.79 (invoiced biannually) and the council tax band is above average. Crime levels in the area are recorded as above average; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures.
Transport links are reasonable for a semi-rural location: the A414 gives road access to the M11 and M25 and Epping station (Central Line) is a drive away. Local amenities and green spaces, including Epping Forest, are nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are good, supporting home working or streaming.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer who values outside space, parking and a contemporary interior, while accepting the costs and constraints of leasehold ownership and the local crime profile. It could also appeal to buy-to-let investors wanting a low-management property with garden appeal.
