St. Leonards Close, Grays

Top floor, Thames-side and chain free… this one is certainly worth a closer look.

Enjoying a sought-after position close to the River Thames, this generously proportioned one-bedroom top-floor apartment offers plenty of space, lots of natural light and the kind of practical extras that make everyday life that little bit easier — including communal gardens, residents' parking and visitor spaces.

Step inside via the secure entry-phone system and you'll find well-maintained communal areas leading to the apartment. Once through the front door, a spacious entrance hall provides a warm welcome, along with excellent built-in storage, an airing cupboard and access to the loft. Because, let's face it, you can never have too much storage.

The star of the show has to be the 20'8 x 12'6 lounge/sitting room. With double-glazed windows to both the front and side, there's an abundance of natural light and more than enough room to create separate lounging and dining zones. Big sofa? Dining table? Work-from-home corner? There's room to play with here.

The separate kitchen measures approximately 8'9 x 7'3 and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, matching work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. There's also a built-in oven and hob with extractor above, while the double-glazed window keeps things feeling bright and airy.

The bedroom is a comfortable double, measuring approximately 9'4 x 8'6, with fitted carpeting and a double-glazed window.

Completing the accommodation is a white three-piece bathroom suite with panelled bath and mixer shower attachment, pedestal wash basin and WC.

Outside, residents have use of the communal gardens, while private residents' parking and additional visitor parking mean there's no need to play the dreaded "where am I parking tonight?" game.

And there's more good news for buyers: the property benefits from a lease in excess of 900 years and is being offered with NO UPWARD CHAIN.

Conveniently positioned for Grays town centre and mainline railway station, while also enjoying its location close to the Thames, this could make a great first purchase, investment or easy-to-manage home.

Top floor. Great-sized lounge. Parking. 900+ year lease. No chain.
We'd say that's quite a compelling little checklist.
