Offered to the market with no onward chain, this bright and well-presented one bedroom top floor apartment in Melbourne Court, Melbourne Road is the perfect blend of convenience, comfort and long-term reassurance.

A major bonus is the recently extended lease of approximately 153 years, giving buyers genuine peace of mind and making this a smart move for both first time purchasers and investors who like their paperwork as solid as their investment.

Occupying the top floor, the apartment enjoys added privacy and a pleasant outlook. Inside, the space is light, well laid out and easy to live in. An inviting entrance hallway leads through to a lovely size lounge, ideal for cosy nights in, hosting friends or setting up that stylish work-from-home corner. The well-appointed kitchen provides ample storage and preparation space, while the good size bedroom offers a calm and comfortable retreat. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

For commuters, it does not get much more convenient. Tilbury Town railway station is just 0.2 miles away, offering direct access to London Fenchurch Street railway station — meaning city life is within easy reach while you enjoy more space for your money.

Externally, the property benefits from a good size communal garden, perfect for a breath of fresh air, along with allocated parking for everyday ease.

Whether you are stepping onto the ladder or adding to your portfolio, this is a top floor apartment that makes a strong first impression and an even smarter long-term choice.
