This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an accessible, low‑maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers seeking a straightforward move. Located on Thames Road, it sits near Grays station for direct C2C line access into London and comes with allocated off‑street parking and a private balcony.
The layout is open-plan with double bedrooms and a living area that benefits from good natural light and modern finishes. The property has a very long lease (134 years) and is offered with no onward chain, making the legal process simpler. Broadband speeds are fast and flooding risk is very low.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is mains‑electric, which can mean higher running costs than gas heating. The service charge is approximately £2,505 per year and the neighbourhood records very high crime levels according to local data. The flat is small overall (about 549 sq ft), so buyers should check space needs and storage.
This is a compact, well‑located starter home with clear positives—transport links, long lease and parking—but also some material downsides to budget for. A viewing will best show whether the size, heating type and service costs match your needs.
