Move-in-ready one-bed with large private garden and great commuter links.
Recently refurbished and move-in ready
A recently refurbished one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offering move-in-ready accommodation and a large private garden. The bright living room, contemporary kitchen and modern bathroom are complemented by newly fitted carpets, gas central heating and double glazing. The layout and generous proportions make this a practical home for a first-time buyer or commuter.
Sold with no onward chain, the property provides a straightforward purchase. It sits within easy walking distance of Basildon town centre and the train station, with quick access to the A127, A13 and A130. Local schools have Good Ofsted ratings, and nearby shops and bus links add convenience.
Buyers should note material points: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £800 and a ground rent of £10. The immediate area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived/hampered, which may affect resale and insurance. The building’s cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, and the mid-20th-century construction means buyers should check any long-term maintenance requirements.
Overall, this is an affordable, well-presented starter home or buy-to-let opportunity that offers low running costs (cheap council tax, EPC C) and easy commuter access, provided buyers are comfortable with the leasehold term and local area considerations.
