Tucked a short walk from Rainham town centre and the train station, this one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers compact, practical living ideal for a first home or rental. The layout is efficient: a light reception room, double bedroom, fitted kitchen and modern shower room across 437 sq ft. Neutral decoration and double glazing mean the property is ready to occupy with minimal immediate works.
The flat comes with a valuable allocated off-street parking space and sits within a 50% share of freehold arrangement — useful ownership control but note shared responsibilities for building upkeep. Council Tax Band A and an EPC rating of D keep running costs low, supporting strong buy-to-let yields or affordable owner-occupation.
Be aware of constraints: internal space is compact with no private garden or external amenity shown, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements could be needed. This is an attractive, low-maintenance proposition for buyers prioritising location and value over generous living space.
With no onward chain, the property can suit buyers seeking a quick move or investors wanting an easy-addition rental. The house’s period exterior and neutral interior present scope for modest cosmetic improvements to add personal style or rental premium.
