Set on the top floor of a gated development close to Romford town centre and the Elizabeth Line, this two-bedroom apartment offers a practical layout and easy commuter access. The separate kitchen and living/dining room create natural zones for cooking and entertaining, while two double bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping space. The block, built in the early 1990s, sits within maintained communal grounds and includes off-street gated parking.
For first-time buyers or investors, the property’s 636 sq ft footprint and proximity to transport links are clear strengths. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working-from-home needs. The building benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Important practical points are the leasehold tenure and running costs: approximately 94 years remain on the lease, annual service charges total about £2,664 (£666 quarterly) and ground rent is £125 per year. These are material costs to factor into affordability and long-term plans. The property appears well-suited to buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in apartment with commuter convenience, or investors targeting steady rental demand in a very affluent area with low crime.
Viewings are recommended to judge room proportions and finish; the apartment represents a straightforward, low-risk buy in a well-located development, but buyers should budget for ongoing leasehold charges and confirm any future major works or reserve fund requirements.
