Summary - Flat 1, Lapwing House, Capstan Drive RM13 9JA
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Ideal for first-time buyers and commuters seeking low-maintenance city living.
Opposite Rainham C2C station — excellent for commuters
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat occupies a practical footprint (approx. 440 sq ft) in a modern block directly opposite Rainham C2C station, making it ideally placed for commuters. The interior is immaculately presented with an open-plan kitchen/living area, a separate utility room, gas central heating and double glazing — all set up for immediate move-in. Allocated off-street parking and fast broadband/mobile signal add everyday convenience.
The property is offered chain-free on a long lease (129 years remaining) with a modest ground rent (£125) and Council Tax band B. EPC currently rated C (75) and built in the early 2000s, the block benefits from contemporary construction and low immediate maintenance needs. Local amenities, schools and frequent transport links are all within easy reach.
Notable drawbacks are the property's compact size and lack of any private outdoor space, making it most suitable for a single occupant or couple rather than a family. The local area scores high for crime and is classified as deprived, which may concern some buyers. Overall, this is a low-maintenance, commuter-focused home with sensible running costs and clear potential for a first-time buyer or investor seeking reliable rental demand.
