Summary - The Bungalow, Dock Road RM18 7BL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Long lease, parking and direct trains to London — ideal first-time purchase.
Walking distance to Tilbury Station, direct C2C links to London
A well-presented two-bedroom leasehold apartment offered with a long 242-year lease and practical open-plan living. The bright reception and fitted kitchen suit first-time buyers seeking a commuter base: Tilbury Station is within walking distance with direct C2C trains to London, and road links to the A13 and M25 are close by. Undercover off-street parking is included.
The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and the flat shows contemporary finishes and double glazing (installation date unknown). Bedrooms are generous for the size and there is a single modern three-piece bathroom. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports home working or streaming.
Buyers should note practical downsides: the local crime level is very high, which may affect security and insurance costs. The building has cavity walls with no assumed insulation, so heating costs could be higher than newer stock despite mains gas central heating. Service charge (£1,200 pa) and ground rent (£153 pa) apply; the tenure is leasehold. The apartment is average-sized overall (approx. 702 sq ft) with some rooms described as small to medium, so storage and space should be considered.
This property suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable entry point into the area with strong transport links. It offers immediate move-in potential with scope to improve energy performance and personalise finishes over time. Early viewing recommended to assess space and local environment in person.
