This two-double-bedroom maisonette sits in a quiet cul-de-sac and offers compact, low-maintenance living a short walk from Laindon Railway Station (0.9 miles). The layout includes a light lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, main bedroom with ensuite, second double with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom with a shower-over-Jacuzzi bath. Allocated parking plus a private garage add practical value for commuters or small families.
The flat is presented to a good standard throughout and is sensible for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward accommodation with immediate occupancy potential. The property benefits from a lengthy lease (108 years remaining) and a below-average service charge (£65pcm / £780pa). Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and nearby primary and secondary schools include Outstanding and Good-rated options.
Be realistic about the location and footprint: the development sits in an area with above-average crime statistics and higher local deprivation indicators, and the property has no private garden and modest internal room sizes (approx 802 sq ft overall). These factors may affect resale or rental desirability for some buyers, though the parking, garage and proximity to transport remain strong practical positives.
Summary: a well-presented, low-maintenance two-bedroom maisonette offering good commuter links, garage parking and a long lease. Best suited to first-time buyers or investors who prioritise transport access, compact living and modest running costs, and who accept local area drawbacks.
