Situated on the first floor of a late-1980s block, this two-bedroom flat offers compact, practical accommodation close to Grays town centre and the C2C station. At around 528 sq ft, the layout includes a bright reception room, separate fitted kitchen and two bedrooms — suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home in a well-connected location.
Notable strengths include off-street parking, a communal garden and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal, plus easy access to Lakeside Shopping Centre and local amenities. The fitted kitchen appears modern and the property benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation (as built), helping with thermal comfort despite the electric storage heating.
There are important considerations: the lease has about 62 years remaining, which may prevent mainstream mortgage lending and makes this most suitable for cash buyers or buyers prepared to refinance or extend the lease at cost. The wider area registers very high crime and significant deprivation, which buyers should factor into safety and long-term value expectations.
This is a pragmatic purchase: compact and affordable with good transport links and local schools nearby, but requiring informed decision-making on lease and financing. Suitable for a buyer who prioritises location and low upfront price, and who accepts the practical constraints and potential future costs of a short lease.
