This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Harold Hill offers straightforward, practical living with easy access to transport links and local amenities. Situated close to Harold Wood station and main roads (A12, A127, M25), it suits a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor looking for a low-maintenance base with garden space.
The apartment occupies a mid-20th-century semi-detached building and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a modest private garden at the front. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and the current layout provides a conventional living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom connected by a hallway with storage.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, a ground rent of £10 per year and an annual service charge of about £1,185. The local area scores high on deprivation indices and is described as a hampered neighbourhood; average crime levels are reported. These factors affect longer-term investment outlook and mortgage/insurance options for some buyers.
For buyers prepared to accept the lease profile and local challenges, the flat represents affordable entry into the area and has straightforward refurbishment potential. It will appeal to those prioritising transport links and low council tax over a premium neighbourhood setting.
