Summary - Parklands, Rochford SS4 1SY
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Modernised, move-in-ready one-bed flat with allocated parking and great transport links.
Ground-floor one double bedroom apartment, 492 sq ft
A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment positioned in the heart of Rochford, ideal for a first-time buyer or someone looking to downsize. The current owners have modernised the interior with a fitted Shaker-style kitchen, contemporary bathroom and wood-effect flooring, creating a bright, move-in-ready home. The lounge benefits from double-aspect windows for plenty of natural light, and the bedroom includes fitted sliding wardrobes.
Practical features include allocated parking in the communal car park, an average-sized footprint of around 492 sq ft, and 122 years remaining on the lease. The property is electrically heated via storage heaters and runs on mains electricity, so running costs should be considered alongside the council tax band B position and the current EPC rating of E.
This flat sits within easy walking distance of Rochford mainline station, local shops and bus routes, making it well placed for commuting and local amenities. Service charge and ground rent are notable: a service charge of approximately £1,845 pa and ground rent of £180 pa. The building was constructed in the early 1990s and occupies a suburban setting with communal landscaping outside.
The apartment offers straightforward potential for cost-effective upgrades (improving EPC/ heating) or to hold as a rental investment in a town-centre location, but buyers should budget for energy-efficiency work and ongoing service charges.
