Description
Welcome to The Icon—and yes, it genuinely lives up to its name. This stylish two-bedroom, second-floor apartment delivers modern living in the heart of Basildon Town Centre, complete with a 106-year lease, sleek interiors and a sitting tenant already providing instant rental income. The property represents a standout investor-only opportunity enhanced further by a sitting tenant already in place.
Step into the hallway and you’re immediately drawn to the impressive open-plan kitchen/lounge, stretching over 20ft. It’s the kind of space that makes dinner parties easy, lazy Sundays better and Instagram Stories look effortlessly aesthetic. The modern kitchen setup includes integrated hob, generous workspace and plenty of room for a dining nook—perfect for tenants who love to cook, host or simply order Deliveroo in style.
Both bedrooms are excellently sized, with the master bedroom measuring nearly 14ft in length, providing plenty of space for furnishings. Bedroom Two also offers generous proportions, perfect for guests, children, or a dedicated home office. A modern, well-appointed bathroom with full bathtub and contemporary fittings completes the internal layout.
And speaking of commutes—Basildon Station is literally 200ft away. That’s “I can leave in three minutes and still make my train” close. Plus, the apartment includes an allocated parking space, a serious bonus in such a central location. With quick access to the A13 and M25, it’s commuter heaven, whether your tenant works in London, Essex or somewhere in between.
This is an investor-only purchase with a reliable sitting tenant—ideal for those who prefer their returns as hassle-free as their morning coffee.
