A straightforward one-bedroom apartment on the second floor, quietly positioned close to Basildon town centre and the train station. The layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, separate kitchen, double bedroom and useful storage both inside and externally. Residents benefit from a communal garden and nearby off-street parking.
This property is sold chain free and offers clear potential for a buyer prepared to renovate. The building dates from the late 1960s and the flat currently requires full refurbishment, including cosmetic and likely utility upgrades. The current EPC is F and the living room shows visible wear — this is a project property rather than a move-in ready home.
Important practical considerations: the lease has around 80 years remaining and some mortgage lenders may decline lending on this term. The area scores as deprived with above-average crime statistics; however, council tax is low and broadband and mobile connectivity are strong. Cash buyers or investors comfortable with refurbishment and lease extension arrangements will find scope to add value here.
Nearby amenities include schools rated Good, local bus links, playgrounds, leisure facilities and woodland. For buyers seeking a reasonably priced entry into Basildon with convenient transport links, this apartment could deliver long-term uplift after renovation and lease management.
