This well-presented first-floor purpose-built flat offers compact, practical living for a first-time buyer or investor wanting easy London commutes. At about 398 sq ft the apartment makes efficient use of space with a bright lounge/diner and two bedrooms; the larger bedroom will suit a double, while the second is best for a child, home office or rental single. The long lease (109 years) and proximity to Chadwell Heath station with Elizabeth Line links are strong ownership and rental draws.
The building is modern and neutrally finished throughout, with double glazing and electric storage heating already in place. Residents’ permit parking provides on-street parking options nearby, and local shops, places of worship and a range of amenities sit within walking distance — convenient for day-to-day life or letting to commuters.
Be aware of a few practical limitations: total internal space is small, the kitchen is compact, and heating is electric storage (higher running costs than gas). Broadband speeds are reported slow, and there is an annual service charge and ground rent to budget for. These are straightforward considerations for buyers prioritising location and transport links.
Overall this apartment is a sensible, affordable entry-point to the area with clear rental and commuter appeal. Buyers seeking low-maintenance, well-located flats with a long lease will find this a practical option; those needing larger living spaces, fast broadband or mains gas heating should factor in the compromises.
