This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Branstone Court offers an affordable, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Recently redecorated throughout, the flat benefits from double glazing, fitted kitchen and bathroom, and direct access via double doors to the residents' garden — a useful outdoor space for ground-floor living.
Practical commuting is a strength: Purfleet Station is within walking distance and the A13/M25 links are nearby, making journeys into London or around Essex straightforward. The property comes with off-street residents’ parking and a long 154-year lease, reducing medium-term tenure risk.
There are some material considerations to note. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can increase running costs. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, and the development has an average service charge of £1,813 per year. The apartment is relatively small at about 509 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking compact, manageable accommodation.
Overall, this flat represents a practical, low-effort purchase for someone prioritising location, a long lease and immediate occupancy. It’s best suited to purchasers who value commuting convenience and low renovation requirements, and investors seeking a straightforward rental in a well-connected area.
