What if you could skip buying a small Flat and go straight to owning a freehold House? 

Imagine your own front door, your own outdoor space and only a 25 minute train to Fenchurch Street. Great for first time buyers and investors alike, this property is chain free and ready for you now.

There's a big difference between buying a flat and owning a house. One still feels like a stepping stone where someone else is responsible for many decisions, you need to ask permission to do things to your own property, and you have to pay service charges.  With a house, you are in the driving seat and more settled.

Phoenix Cottages is a row of six period cottages and are part of the original fabric of Rainham Village.  

This cottage has been freshly repainted throughout, with new carpets in the lounge and bedrooms and new vinyl flooring in the kitchen, so it's ready to move into and make your own home.

You come straight into the lounge from the front door - a light and bright room with plenty of space. The staircase rises from here to the two double bedrooms upstairs.

The kitchen has fitted units, a warm timber worktop, patterned floor tile effect vinyl flooring and sage green walls. There's a gas hob, electric oven and extractor hood, and even enough room for a small dining table if you want it. 

The bathroom sits just off the kitchen, which is tiled throughout in warm stone tones, with a bath, shower, WC and basin.

The back door leads out to the courtyard garden which is paved, private and fully fenced.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom has fitted sliding wardrobes. The second bedroom is a good size with a view of the back garden.

Rainham Station is only a 15 minute walk away, with fast and frequent C2C services reaching Fenchurch Street and other London stations in around 25 minutes. 

For drivers, the A13 is close by, giving you a direct run into East London or out to the M25.

The pedestrianised shopping centre on the High Street covers the day-to-day essentials, and there is also a large Tesco superstore within walking distance.  Rainham has a National Trust Property (Rainham Hall) and the RSPB maintained Rainham Marshes is just a few minutes away when you need a proper escape from the week.

This is a property that makes genuine good investment as a home to live in or a rental investment in a location with real commuter demand.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing.  The cottage is chain free so there’s nothing to hold up a quick move when the right buyer comes along. Quote RT0654 when calling to view.  Calls answered 24/7.
