No onward chain and a long 99-year lease make this one-bedroom apartment a straightforward buy for first-time buyers or investors seeking immediate rental potential. The first-floor flat is served by a lift and opens to a wide entrance hall with a utility/storage cupboard (plumbing in place), a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe space, and a well-sized bathroom.
The main living room is a generous lounge-diner that overlooks public gardens, with an adjoining fitted kitchen at the far end. Double glazing and an electric boiler feeding radiators provide basic thermal comfort; heating is electric rather than gas, which may affect running costs depending on usage.
The building offers secure off-street parking for one car, visitor spaces, a communal courtyard garden and a ground-floor shared utility area. Service charges are below average at about £750 per year and ground rent is low at £10, supporting lower ongoing costs compared with many leasehold flats.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat (99 years remaining) in an area with higher-than-average crime statistics; those factors and electric heating are material considerations. Overall, the apartment is a compact, low-maintenance option close to Halstead High Street amenities and transport links — a sensible stepping stone onto the market or a manageable buy-to-let purchase.
