This bright first-floor apartment offers practical, well-laid-out living for a single occupant or couple seeking easy commuting to Central London. The open-plan living and dining area and separate kitchen create usable space for everyday life, while a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes provides straightforward storage.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, a long lease (952 years) and a below-average annual service charge, which help reduce ongoing ownership costs. Local amenities and good schools are close by, and the Central Line at Loughton gives fast rail links for commuters.
Be aware this home sits within a higher-crime, more deprived neighbourhood; buyers should factor local conditions into their decision. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, so there is realistic potential need for thermal upgrades to improve efficiency. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown.
Overall this is a sensible, low-maintenance flat with strong transport and schooling credentials and clear scope for modest improvement works to enhance comfort and energy performance. It will suit buyers prioritising location, long lease security and low running costs rather than large internal space.
