Summary - ROCHEFORTE HOUSE FLAT 48 ROCHE CLOSE ROCHFORD SS4 1PW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable commuter flat with parking and scope to personalise.
Top-floor one-bedroom with built-in wardrobes
A top-floor one-bedroom apartment in a gated town-centre development, offering straightforward living and strong commuter links to London. The open-plan living/dining layout and fitted kitchen give a practical footprint for a first-time buyer or investor looking to rent. Allocated off-street parking, double glazing and an intercom add everyday convenience.
The flat has a long lease (approx. 133 years) and reasonable overall size (about 442 sq ft). There is scope to add personal style and increase value — the property is advertised as needing cosmetic updating rather than major works. Council tax is low, broadband and mobile signal are good, and local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding.
Important purchase notes: the property is leasehold and being sold via the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should budget for a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer’s fees and the ongoing service charge (approx. £2,400 pa). Heating is electric (room heaters) which may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes.
Be frank about neighbourhood factors: the area scores as deprived and recorded crime levels are high. For those prioritising central location and transport over quiet streets, this provides an affordable entry to Rochford with immediate access to shops, station and amenities. Viewings recommended for anyone seeking a low-maintenance, well-located one-bed with potential to personalise.
