Summary - 74 HOWARD CLOSE WALTHAM ABBEY EN9 1XB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Top-floor one-bedroom with 185-year lease, no ground rent and communal parking ideal for first-time buyers.
185-year lease and zero ground rent
This top-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a practical, well-presented home for first-time buyers or compact living. The extended 185-year lease and zero ground rent make the tenure straightforward, and the generous lounge-diner and modern kitchen maximise usable space within a modest 482 sq ft footprint. Communal gardens and ample off-street parking add low-maintenance outdoor space and convenience.
The interior is contemporary throughout, with a refitted kitchen and bathroom and plentiful built-in storage. Natural light reaches the apartment from multiple windows and a loft hatch adds extra access to storage or potential conversion space (subject to consent). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note practical running and location considerations: heating is electric (room heaters), which can increase bills compared with gas central heating, and there is a regular service charge of about £109.30 per month. Crime levels in the area are reported as very high, which may be a concern for some buyers and should be factored into location decisions.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, move-in-ready apartment with strong tenure, modern finishes and commuter-friendly links nearby. It suits someone seeking an affordable entry onto the property ladder or a buy-to-let purchase, provided they are comfortable with electric heating and local area considerations.
