Offered chain-free, this two-bedroom apartment sits a short walk from Brentwood High Street and the station, making daily commuting and town-centre life straightforward. Light-filled rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining area and a Juliette balcony create an airy, low-maintenance home that’s ready to move into. Two dedicated off-street parking spaces are a rare and valuable benefit in this location.
The building is a compact, corner-positioned block with small communal planting and limited private outdoor amenity—expect no private garden beyond the small planted beds to the front. The flat is modest in size (approximately 567 sq ft) and presented in neutral, modern condition with double glazing and gas central heating; EPC rated C. Service charge and costs are material: service charge approximately £2,595 pa, ground rent £350 pa, and council tax at Band E (above average).
Leasehold tenure with about 101 years remaining provides security for mortgage lenders and buyers, but the lease length and annual charges should be reviewed before offer. This layout and location suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located rental; downsizers who prioritise convenience and low upkeep will also find appeal. The busy roadside aspect means town views rather than a private quiet garden.
Practical positives include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby good primary and secondary schools, and a broad range of shops, cafés and services on the doorstep. Notable drawbacks are the small overall footprint, limited private outdoor space, ongoing service charge level, and council tax cost—factors that affect running costs and suitability depending on buyer priorities.
