Summary - 53 ABBEYDALE CLOSE CHURCH LANGLEY HARLOW CM17 9QB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Well-presented starter home with parking and strong rental potential.
Two bedrooms, open-plan lounge/diner with modern finishes
Bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in the popular Church Langley development, presented with modern finishes and efficient living space. The open-plan lounge/diner and fitted kitchen suit a practical first home or a buy-to-let with estimated rental of £1,350 pcm. Allocated off-street parking and nearby shops, schools and transport add everyday convenience.
Practical costs and tenure details are clear: leasehold with c.94 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £2,350 and ground rent of £230. Heating is via electric storage heaters and mains electricity; EPC rating is C. The footprint is modest (approx. 547 sq ft), so internal storage and room sizes are compact.
This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home and investors targeting steady rental income in a well-served area. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider the remaining lease length when planning a long-term purchase. Important legal checks (lease verification) are advised prior to exchange.
Notable negatives: the property sits in a higher-crime area according to available data, relies on electric storage heating (higher running costs than gas), and communal maintenance is funded through relatively high service charges. These are balanced by a modern presentation, good local amenities and strong rental demand.
