Off-street parking to the rear, useful in busy area

Electric storage heaters; consider heating upgrade for efficiency
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — potential insulation costs
Local area: very high crime rate and area deprivation
Council tax low (cheap) — helps running costs
Chain-free two-bedroom top-floor apartment with a long lease and practical parking, well suited to first-time buyers seeking a commuter base. The flat is compact at approximately 517 sq ft but offers a clear layout: lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Its standout benefits are proximity to Grays C2C station and off-street parking to the rear.
The building is a Georgian-revival red brick block with characterful proportions and large windows. The interior has a modern fitted kitchen and double glazing, but heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are likely uninsulated — budgeting for improved insulation or upgraded heating would help reduce running costs.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and nearby amenities including shops, schools and regular buses. Note the local area statistics: high crime rate and relative deprivation; buyers should weigh this against the convenience of the C2C link and low council tax banding.
Overall this is an affordable, chain-free entry into the local market with long lease security and commuter convenience. It will suit buyers happy to accept modest living space and some updating to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
