Description

Guide price £220,000-£240,000

Ideally located for London commuters, this spacious two-bedroom mid-floor apartment is approximately a 10-minute walk from Wickford railway station, providing direct rail services into London Liverpool Street. Positioned on a quiet no-through road and with attractive green walking routes just a couple of minutes away, the property offers an excellent balance of convenience and access to nearby open space.

The apartment forms part of a well-maintained purpose-built development of just twelve apartments and benefits from two allocated off-road parking spaces, a particularly valuable feature for households with more than one vehicle.

The property has previously been marketed primarily to investment buyers as it was offered with a tenant in situ. It is now being relaunched to the market and can be purchased either with the tenant in place, currently generating £1,400 per month in rental income, or with vacant possession. This opens the opportunity to a much wider range of buyers including first-time buyers, owner-occupiers, downsizers and investors.

Internally, the apartment offers generous accommodation with two well-proportioned bedrooms and is presented in good condition throughout, while still offering the opportunity for a buyer to personalise and make it their own over time.

Further benefits include well-insulated construction, reasonable ground rent and service charges, usable communal gardens for residents, and a friendly community within this small residential development.

Combining generous living space, two allocated parking spaces, nearby green walking routes and excellent direct rail links into London, this apartment represents an excellent opportunity for both homeowners and investors alike.
