No-chain, two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Chafford Hundred, offered with allocated and visitor parking and loft access. The block is a purpose-built modern brick development from the early 1990s with small communal grounds and a pleasant treed aspect to the rear. At about 346 sq ft the flat is compact and suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance urban home or rental.
The interior includes a modest lounge, two bedrooms, a compact fitted kitchen and a family bathroom with electric shower. New electric radiators have been fitted, but the property uses electric storage heaters and is all-electric; buyers should note ongoing running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The kitchen appears dated and may need modernization to improve functionality and rental appeal.
Practical details: the tenure is leasehold with approximately 91 years remaining, ground rent £100 pa and an annual service charge around £1,540.85. Council Tax band is low (Band B). These lease and service costs are material to affordability and should be checked alongside mortgage eligibility for leasehold flats.
This is a straightforward, commuter-friendly apartment close to local amenities and schools. It represents a practical entry into the market or a manageable addition to a buy-to-let portfolio, provided buyers are comfortable with the compact size, dated kitchen and electric heating system.
