A bright one-bedroom first-floor apartment with an open-plan living area, neatly presented and ready to move into. The living room flows to a kitchen area, and the layout makes good use of the 511 sq ft, with useful built-in storage and an allocated off-street parking bay.
This leasehold home (about 90 years remaining) was built in the early 1990s and benefits from modern laminate floors and straightforward, low-maintenance finishes. Transport links are strong for the price point — the M25 and A13 are within easy reach for commuting to London or Southend. Council tax is very low, which will help running costs.
Important considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas in winter. The immediate area scores as deprived with a higher-than-average crime rate; buyers should factor this into long-term plans. Broadband and mobile signals are average. The 90-year lease is adequate for many buyers but should be reviewed if you plan long-term ownership or mortgage options.
This apartment is a pragmatic choice for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the area, or an investor looking for a straightforward let close to major road links. It offers decent living space and parking at a modest price, with some running-cost and local-area trade-offs to consider.
