This one-bedroom second-floor apartment sits in a purpose-built red-brick block in Hutton Poplars, offering an immediate buy-to-let or first-home opportunity. The sitting room opens onto a balcony with pleasant views over trees and the residential street, and the property is only 0.9 miles from Shenfield mainline station and Crossrail — a strong commuter appeal.
Internally the flat is compact and well-presented with a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, built-in bedroom storage and a bathroom with airing cupboard. Practical features include allocated off-street parking, useful loft storage access from the entrance hall, double glazing and straightforward electric storage heating.
Costs and tenure are important: the apartment is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge of about £1,222.09 pa and ground rent £88.94 pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no gas), and there is no private garden. These factors affect running costs and some mortgage/valuation considerations.
Chain-free sale and close proximity to Shenfield station and local schools make this a sensible pick for investors or a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance commuter base. The flat offers scope to improve energy and heating efficiency and to enhance rental yield, but buyers should check mortgage eligibility given the lease length and confirm service-charge arrangements.
