This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a modern purpose-built block on Lewes Close, offering a practical first home or buy-to-let opportunity. The well-presented interior includes a long (c.20') open-plan living room/kitchen, two average-sized bedrooms and a walk-in wardrobe, all in good decorative order. A long lease (168 years remaining) and permit parking add ownership reassurance and convenience.
Commuters benefit from the short 0.4-mile walk to Grays C2C station, providing direct rail access to London. External maintenance is low with modest communal grounds and marked parking; service charge covers buildings insurance and water. The area has several good primary and secondary schools within reach, and local amenities include pubs and a post box.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: primary heating is by electric room heaters, broadband and mobile signal are average, and the wider area records higher-than-average crime. Leasehold costs are modest but present: service charge £150 pcm and ground rent £200 per annum. Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance flat with strong transport links but some local-area considerations to weigh.
