Compact one-bedroom flat with parking and communal gardens, minutes from Hornchurch station.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment, approx. 366 sq ft
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment set in a well-kept 1980s development, offered with no onward chain and ready for immediate occupation. The flat is compact (approx. 366 sq ft) and arranged with a roomy living area opening to a fitted kitchen, one double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a modern bathroom. Communal gardens and an allocated parking space add outdoor and parking convenience rarely found at this price point.
Practical running costs and ownership details are straightforward but important: the lease has about 92 years remaining, service charge is approximately £1,599 per annum (paid over 10 months) and ground rent is around £90 per annum. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property has double glazing; there is no gas central heating. EPC rating is D.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable route onto the ladder or an investor looking for a let-ready property close to Hornchurch District Line station. The location in a quiet cul-de-sac places shops, schools and public transport within easy walking distance. The building’s low-maintenance exterior and communal grounds are practical benefits for buyers wanting minimal upkeep.
Considerations: the flat is small and best for a single occupant or couple; electric heating can mean higher bills than gas central heating; the service charge is relatively high for a small flat and the lease length, while secure for now, is under 100 years which may affect future mortgage options and resale value. All lease, service charge and tenure details should be confirmed by your solicitor.
