This modern two-bedroom apartment sits in a purpose-built low-rise block with an open-plan living area and a balcony overlooking a communal green. The layout and natural light suit first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home with straightforward storage: a hallway cupboard and built-in wardrobe in the main bedroom.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, a recently replaced boiler, double glazing, and in-built kitchen appliances. Commuting is convenient with nearby train links, easy road access to the A13/Dartford Bridge and quick trips to Lakeside Shopping Centre. Chafford Gorge and Rainham Marshes are close for weekend walks.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with about 140 years remaining. Annual service charge and ground rent are material costs to budget for (service charge around £1,750; ground rent about £360). The wider neighbourhood scores as an area of deprivation and records higher crime levels, which may influence buyer choice and insurance costs.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment offering commuter convenience and outside space for evenings on the balcony. It suits first-time buyers wanting a modern home near transport, shops and green spaces, provided they accept leasehold costs and the local area context.
