Daiglen Drive, South Ockendon RM15

Garden apartment? Tick. No chain? Tick. Low service charges? Tick. This one really does have it all.

Positioned within the ever-popular Daiglen Drive in South Ockendon, this beautifully presented ground floor apartment is proof that great things really do come in well-designed packages. Offering the rare luxury of both a private front and rear garden, modern upgrades throughout and a long lease, this home is perfectly suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or investors looking for something that stands out from the crowd.

From the moment you step through your own private front door, you'll notice the sense of space this apartment offers. The welcoming hallway features a generous deep storage cupboard – because let's be honest, you can never have too much storage.

One of the first things you'll appreciate is the impressive 8'2" high ceilings, creating an airy and elegant feel that's rarely found in modern apartments. Combined with replacement windows installed just three years ago, natural light pours through every room, making the whole home feel bright, fresh and inviting.

The lounge is a wonderful place to unwind after a long day, centred around a charming feature fireplace that instantly gives the room warmth and character. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening or entertaining friends and family, it's a room you'll genuinely love spending time in.

The kitchen offers plenty of cupboard and worktop space, ready for everything from your morning coffee to Sunday lunch. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with an efficient combi boiler installed in 2019 and upgraded radiators throughout, providing reliable heating and hot water.

The generous double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, offering excellent storage while maintaining a clean and spacious feel. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated within the last 18 months and now boasts a contemporary suite with stylish full-height tiling, creating a luxurious finish that is ready to enjoy.

Now for what truly sets this apartment apart...

Private gardens are always in demand, but having both a front garden and your own private rear garden is exceptionally rare for an apartment. Whether you're hosting summer barbecues, enjoying your morning coffee outdoors, creating a space for pets, or simply relaxing in the sunshine, this home offers outdoor living that many apartments simply cannot match.

Further benefits include approximately 99 years remaining on the lease, an exceptionally low service charge of just £65 per calendar month, replacement windows fitted approximately three years ago, upgraded heating throughout and, perhaps best of all, no onward chain, allowing for a smoother and potentially quicker move.

If you've been searching for an apartment that offers the feel of a house, combines generous indoor and outdoor space, and delivers excellent value for money, this impressive home deserves to be at the very top of your viewing list.

Properties offering this combination of private gardens, modern improvements and no onward chain rarely stay available for long.
