Light-filled third-floor apartment in the heart of Wickford, offered chain-free and ready for an immediate move. The open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a social living space, with integrated white goods remaining and lift access making upper-floor living straightforward. Allocated gated permit parking is a practical bonus for town-centre homes.
At about 378 sqft the property is compact and best suited to a single occupant, commuter or first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance central living. The building is mid-20th century mixed-use, so expect town-centre activity and potential daytime noise from nearby shops and streets. Broadband speeds are very slow — important if you work from home.
Leasehold details are favourable for this type of purchase, with about 104 years remaining; however there is an annual service charge (around £1,500) and a small ground rent (£100). Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators and the apartment benefits from UPVC double glazing and a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom.
Nearby amenities are a key strength: Wickford station, shops, supermarkets, healthcare and schools are all within walking distance, making daily life straightforward and public transport excellent. Note the area records higher local crime statistics, so consider security and insurance implications when viewing.
