Secure entry phone system and communal gardens
Walking distance to Rayleigh Station and High Street amenities
Leasehold with average service charge ~£1,300 per year
Built 1950–66; mid-century construction and typical era storage
Small overall size — limited space and potential need for modernisation
Light-filled, well-proportioned first-floor flat in a mid-century block, aimed at first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The property offers two double bedrooms, a roomy lounge/diner and a modern shower room — practical living in a compact footprint. A long lease (152 years) and double glazing add mortgage and letting appeal.
Practical benefits include communal gardens, secure entry phone system and a location within comfortable walking distance of Rayleigh Station and High Street amenities. Mains gas central heating and average broadband/mobile connectivity suit everyday needs. Service charge is modest for communal maintenance.
Notable considerations: the overall property is small (approx. 603 sq ft) and sits in a 1950s–60s building, so internal finish and storage are typical of the era. The property is leasehold with an average service charge of around £1,300 per year — factor these running costs into affordability or rental yield calculations. Local schools are mixed in Ofsted outcomes, so families should check individual school performance.
In short, this flat is a straightforward, low-risk entry onto the ladder or a rental-ready purchase for investors wanting quick access to Rayleigh town and rail links. Expect a compact, well-located home with some period character and predictable communal costs.
