Description

Step inside this slick one-bedroom first floor apartment in the ever-coveted Athenaeum Apartments, where modern style meets riverside living—and the long 118 lease means you’re set for the long haul. Built in 2020, this place has all the comforts you want and none of the fuss you don’t.

From the moment you enter the communal area, you’ll feel like you’re checking into a boutique hotel with stylish decor, lift access, secure entry, and that fresh, stylish vibe, this is the kind of place that says, “Welcome home,” loud and clear.

The heart of the flat? A beautifully presented open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, complete with mood lighting and a breakfast bar island that’s just waiting for your morning coffee ritual—or a cheeky glass of wine later on. The bi-fold doors swing wide open to reveal a huge balcony—the perfect stage for your best “just woke up” selfie or an evening chill-out spot that’s Instagram-ready every time.

The bedroom is a generous size (because who wants to squeeze into a shoebox?), and the bathroom? Let’s just say Netflix and soak has reached a whole new level with a built-in TV. Bath time just got a serious upgrade.

Parking woes? Not here. You’ve got your own allocated space in secure gated underground parking—because hunting for a spot is so last decade.

Location-wise, you’re just 0.2 miles from Grays train station, meaning London is never far away. Plus, Grays town centre’s amenities are a short stroll, and if you’re the outdoorsy type or just like to pretend you are, the nearby riverside park is perfect for jogs or evening walks.

In short, this apartment isn’t just a home; it’s a lifestyle upgrade with all the perks and none of the hassle. Grab it before someone else does.
