Summary - 69 WATERVILLE DRIVE VANGE BASILDON SS16 4TZ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Long lease, no ground rent and close to Pitsea station — practical first purchase.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with loft storage
A top-floor one-bedroom apartment with a long lease and practical, low-maintenance finishes — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The flat offers a combined lounge/diner, modern kitchen and bathroom, loft storage and off-street residents’ parking, all within walking distance of Pitsea train station and local shops.
Important running-cost facts are clear: there is no ground rent, the lease extends approximately 149 years, and council tax sits in a very low band A. The service charge averages £1,920 per year and the property relies on electric room heaters and electricity as the main fuel, which can increase utility bills compared with gas-heated homes.
The location delivers excellent transport links (A127/A13 nearby) and fast broadband and mobile signal, but buyers should note the wider area records high crime and is classed as deprived. The building dates from the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing; the apartment is ready to move into but electric heating and communal service costs are material considerations.
Overall this compact 454 sq ft flat suits someone seeking a convenient, low-maintenance first home or an investor after a well-located rental with a long lease. Viewings recommended for those wanting easy access to Pitsea amenities and good commuter links.
