This first‑floor one‑bed flat offers a rare private rear garden and compact, well‑presented living space — a practical entry into homeownership or a buy‑to‑let starter. At 427 sq ft the layout is efficient: a double bedroom with fitted storage, bright reception room, separate kitchen and a handy external store room. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place; EPC rating D (56).
The property is leasehold (88 years remaining) and the lease extension process is currently underway. Service charge is £648 (below average). On‑street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add everyday convenience. Local shops are about 0.4 miles away and a bus stop is roughly 320 yards; the A13/M25 is within easy reach.
Buyers should note the flat is small and sits in an area with higher levels of deprivation — this may affect long‑term resale dynamics. The building is a 1950s post‑war block and the garden and external areas would benefit from basic landscaping and upkeep. Overall, the property suits a first‑time buyer seeking an affordable, low‑maintenance starter home or an investor looking for a lettable one‑bed in a well‑connected location.
