This top-floor one-bedroom apartment occupies a waterside position beside the Blackwater Navigation, offering pleasant canal views from the sitting/dining room. The layout delivers an open-plan living space, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a white bathroom suite across a compact 442 sq ft footprint — well-suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser.
Practical benefits include two large hallway storage cupboards, loft space, and an allocated covered parking space with two permits. The lease was renewed in 2017 to 125 years and the block is classified as 'Right to Manage', giving residents more direct control over building management.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and is heated by electric storage heaters, which can be costly. The building dates from the 1980s and has double glazing installed before 2002, so some updating may be desirable. Tenure is leasehold — useful lease length but buyers should allow for service charges and statutory leasehold considerations.
Located near local shops, transport links and scenic waterside walks down to Heybridge Basin, the apartment combines convenience with a distinctive canalside setting. An internal viewing is recommended to assess the light, layout and flood-mitigation suitability for your needs.
