A compact one-bedroom apartment designed for residents aged over 60, located within a short walk of Romford shops and the mainline station. The living room opens to a small patio and well-managed communal gardens; the kitchen includes built-in appliances. Double glazing and electric heating are fitted throughout, and the block offers private car parking.
This property suits someone seeking low-stairs, low-maintenance living close to town amenities and transport links. Service charge and communal maintenance keep the communal areas tidy, and broadband and mobile signal are adequate for everyday use.
Important drawbacks: the lease has around 62 years remaining, which may limit mortgage availability and affects long-term value. Service charges are relatively high and local recorded crime levels are very high; buyers should factor these into affordability and safety considerations. Electric room heaters mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating.
