Summary - 225 WITCHARDS BASILDON SS16 5BJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, walkable to Basildon station — affordable entry or rental opportunity.
One double bedroom, good-sized lounge/diner
A ground-floor one-bedroom flat offering straightforward, move-in-ready living close to Basildon town centre and station. The apartment has a generous lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with appliances, double glazing and gas central heating — practical features for everyday comfort and low running costs. Its outside storage shed and small communal garden add useful outdoor space for a property of this size.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the market or an investor after a low-management rental. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, local schools are rated Good, and the centre and train station are about a 10-minute walk, making commuting and family life convenient.
There are material factors to note before viewing: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, which may affect mortgage availability and future value. Annual service charges total £1,264.59 (including the £10 ground rent), and the building’s cavity walls have no added insulation (assumed), which could mean higher heating bills until improved. The block is mid-century stock, so expect typical wear and standard ceiling heights rather than high-end finishes.
Chain-free sale and a compact 452 sq ft layout make this an accessible purchase with clear potential — modernise insulation, refresh cosmetic finishes or hold as a straightforward rental. Buyers should check mortgage criteria for the lease length and confirm all service-charge details prior to offer.
