Summary - 62 SANDON CLOSE ROCHFORD SS4 1TT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Long lease and very low monthly service charge — ideal for first buyers.
Dual-aspect 17ft lounge/dining room with open access to kitchen
A bright first-floor one-bedroom flat with an open-plan feel and unusually low running costs for the area. The 17ft dual-aspect lounge/dining room links to a practical kitchen/breakfast room, while the bedroom looks out over well-kept communal gardens. Recent lease extension to 125 years and a service charge of just £80 pcm make this a sensible long-term buy for a first-time purchaser or investor.
Practical running costs are a clear strength: buildings insurance and water in/out are covered by the service charge, and ground rent is low at £180pa. The building has double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Large communal parking and nearby shops and transport add everyday convenience — Rochford station (trains to London Liverpool Street) is within walking distance.
Buyers should note the flat uses electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can affect energy bills depending on use. The size is average (around 495 sq ft) and the flat would suit a single person or couple rather than a family needing extra space. New carpets are scheduled to be fitted, and communal maintenance is covered, but purchasers should check exact measurements before committing.
Chain-free sale and a long lease reduce purchase friction, making this a straightforward move-in-ready option for those seeking affordable ownership near good transport links and local amenities.
