No Chain, No Upstairs Neighbours And No Problem If You Don’t Have A Car. Perfect for a range of buyers, this affordable top floor flat does have parking but it’s so close to the station, the shops and the riverside park you can easily walk everywhere.
With so much right on your doorstep, it’s easy to see why this location works so well for first time buyers, downsizers or investors looking to snap up a tenant-ready bargain.
You’re just a five-minute walk to Grays C2C station – with direct trains into London Fenchurch Street – and only a 10-minute walk from the High Street (Aldi is even closer).
Prefer a breath of fresh air? The Thames riverside park is just down the road. Or if it’s retail therapy you’re after, Lakeside is only a short drive away with everything under one roof.
Whether it’s a quick bite, a bank run or a coffee with friends, it’s all on your doorstep.
The flat itself is on the top floor, so you don’t have to worry about noisy neighbours above - instead you get loft access for extra storage.
The bright lounge and separate kitchen give you proper living space, while the bedroom easily fits a double bed and more.
It’s double glazed throughout and kept cosy with Economy 7 heating (no gas in the building).
There’s a secure phone entry system, permit parking for residents and no onward chain – so you can move fast if you need to.
It’s leasehold with around 69 years left on the lease. Don’t worry if you need a mortgage, as the sellers are in the process of extending the lease to 125 years, so you’ll be set for the long term.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer or savvy investor, this is one to act on quickly.
