A bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in central Romford, arranged over approximately 682 sq ft. The property sits in a modern block built 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, lift access and an allotted parking space — practical for commuters and first-time buyers.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen/diner has integrated appliances and flows onto a balcony with city and railway views. A concierge and on-site gym add convenience and appeal for residents seeking low-fuss, managed urban living. Both bedrooms are doubles and the layout follows a traditional plan that’s straightforward to furnish.
This is a leasehold property with an average service charge of £3,200 and a ground rent of £240 per year; these running costs are material for budgeting. The wider area records higher crime levels, so security and personal safety considerations are important despite the concierge presence.
Overall, this flat suits someone wanting an immediately liveable, low-maintenance home close to shops, transport and schools. It also offers reasonable rental potential for investors, but buyers should factor ongoing service charges, leasehold obligations and local crime figures into their decision.
