This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers practical modern living in a convenient Grays location. The open-plan kitchen/family room and balcony provide a sociable layout for everyday living, while allocated off-street parking and an EPC B rating add everyday convenience and efficiency.
The building is a recent-purpose construction (2007–2011) with double glazing and gas central heating, so major works are unlikely in the short term. Local amenities and frequent bus links are immediately available, and several nearby primary and secondary schools have good or outstanding Ofsted ratings, which will appeal to families and first-time buyers.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold, the surrounding ward is described as deprived with a high local crime rate, and the apartment is compact so storage and room sizes are average. These factors affect resale and rental perceptions and should be considered alongside the asking price.
For investors this flat can suit lettings given the area's rental demand and allocated parking; for first-time buyers it represents an affordable entry into the area with low council tax and efficient running costs. Viewings will reveal whether the layout and size meet your needs, and whether you are comfortable with the neighbourhood profile and tenure terms.
