This two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Forest Road is a compact, practical home close to Witham’s mainline station (around 0.5 miles). The accommodation includes a lounge/diner, separate kitchen and bathroom, and benefits from double glazing added after 2002 and communal gardens at the rear. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for a swift purchase.
Practical considerations are clear: the 461 sq ft layout is small and best suited to first-time buyers, commuters or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental. Heating is by wall-mounted electric heaters and room heaters only, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and presents typical post-war construction details throughout.
Financially, the apartment is leasehold with 91 years remaining; ground rent is £300 per year and the service charge is £912 annually (£76 pcm), which is described as below-average overall. The location is a genuine strength — excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and easy access to local schools, bus services and leisure amenities — making it convenient for commuters and local renters.
Buyers should note the limited size and lease length when assessing long-term value and mortgage options. For someone prioritising proximity to the station and a move-in-ready, low-complexity home or a straightforward lettable unit, this apartment represents clear, affordable entry into the Witham market.
