Summary - 26 WOODSIDE CLOSE RAINHAM RM13 9PB
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Chain-free, renovated two-bedroom flat with parking and communal garden near Rainham station.
Two double bedrooms, newly renovated and move-in ready
Light-filled and recently renovated, this ground-floor two double bedroom flat offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation in sought-after Rainham Village. The living room and bedrooms are well proportioned for the overall size (approx. 609 sq ft), and the kitchen and bathroom have been updated to a contemporary standard. Allocated off-street parking and a private, well-kept communal garden add useful outdoor and storage benefits rarely found at this price point.
The property is chain-free with an extended lease of 92 years, making it suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential close to Rainham C2C station (around one mile). Running costs are reasonable: below-average service charge (£882 pa), modest ground rent (£250 pa) and low council tax. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and local primary and secondary schools are rated Good.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the lease term, while extended, is under the 99-year threshold that some lenders and buyers prefer; the building dates from the 1950s–60s and external walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, which could affect future energy efficiency work. The area records higher crime levels than average, so purchasers should review local safety data if this is a priority. Overall, this is a compact, well-presented flat offering straightforward value for those prioritising location and immediate usability.
