A compact split-level one-bedroom maisonette in the heart of South Ockendon, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupancy or let. The property extends to just under 600 sq ft, arranged over two levels, and includes loft storage and a sheltered car port for off-street parking — a practical town-centre package for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser.
The home has double glazing and an EPC current rating of 72 with potential to reach 80. Heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated alternatives. There is no service charge; the lease has approximately 101–102 years remaining and ground rent is modest at £150 per year.
Location is a key strength: High Street position close to shops, amenities, schools and bus routes, with easy access to the A13, M25 and Lakeside shopping centre about a 10-minute drive away. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and local crime levels are above average, both factors to consider for occupation or rental appeal.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance choice for someone seeking an affordable town-centre base or an entry-level investment. The property’s compact layout and electric heating suit buyers looking for a straightforward, low-upkeep home, though improvements to connectivity and heating would enhance comfort and long-term value.
