One-bedroom flat with large private garden, low charges and no onward chain.
One-bedroom first-floor flat with sun room
A one-bedroom, first-floor flat offered with no onward chain and a surprisingly large private rear garden (approx 32' x 32'). The main reception measures 16' x 12' and there is a sun room, providing flexible living space in an average-sized property of approximately 482 sq ft.
Practical running costs are a clear strength: 111 years remain on the lease, ground rent is £10 and the service charge is £595 (noted as below average). Gas central heating and double glazing fitted after 2002 help with efficiency and comfort.
Location is convenient for everyday needs — shops, schools (including nearby Bonnygate Primary and Harris Academy Ockendon), bus routes and Ockendon C2C station (approx 1.1 miles). Lakeside shopping centre and major roads (A13/M25) are within easy driving distance.
Buyers should note local context and drawbacks factually: the wider area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels. The property dates from the mid-20th century (1967–1975), so while it is described as in good condition, purchasers should expect typical maintenance and potential modernisation over time.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values a private garden and low ongoing charges, and who is comfortable buying into a neighbourhood with mixed socio-economic indicators.
