A fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-positioned first floor one bedroom maisonette, ideally suited to first-time buyers, investors or those looking to secure a property in a highly desirable Upminster location. Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this attractive home combines excellent proportions, useful outside space and superb access to local amenities and transport links.

Perfectly positioned for convenience, the property is just 262ft from a selection of local amenities and shops, making everyday essentials easily accessible on foot. For those who enjoy outdoor space, Upminster Hall Playing Fields are approximately 328ft away, providing a wonderful nearby green space for recreation, walking and leisure.

The property is also well served by local bus routes, while Upminster Station is approximately 1.2 miles away, providing access to National Rail, the London Underground and wider transport connections. This makes the property particularly appealing to commuters and those requiring convenient access into London.

THE PROPERTY Accessed via its own entrance, the accommodation begins with an entrance hall and hallway, providing a welcoming introduction to the home and offering the added benefit of a large storage cupboard, ideal for keeping coats, shoes, household items and everyday belongings neatly tucked away. From the hallway, the loft is accessible via ladder and is part boarded.

The lounge provides a comfortable and versatile living environment, offering plenty of scope for both relaxing and entertaining. Its proportions allow for a good-sized seating arrangement alongside additional furniture, making this a practical central living space.

The separate kitchen provides a dedicated area for cooking and meal preparation, with space for the usual range of appliances and storage requirements. The layout also allows the new owner the opportunity to personalise and modernise the space to their own taste.

One of the property's standout features is the impressive double bedroom. Generously proportioned, the room provides ample space for a substantial bed and bedroom furniture while retaining a comfortable sense of space. This is a particularly appealing feature for both owner-occupiers and investors seeking a property with strong everyday practicality.

Completing the internal accommodation is a three-piece family bathroom, comprising the expected suite and providing a functional space for everyday use.

OUTSIDE Externally, the property benefits from a low-maintenance block-paved rear garden, providing valuable private outside space without the extensive upkeep associated with a larger garden. This versatile area could be used for outdoor seating, entertaining or simply enjoying some fresh air.

Further benefits include a block garage, providing valuable secure storage or parking potential, together with a large outside storage cupboard offering additional space for bikes, tools, gardening equipment and other household items.

THE LOCATION The property's location is a real highlight. Situated within easy reach of local amenities, shops and recreational facilities, it offers the convenience of having many everyday necessities close at hand while still benefiting from excellent transport connections.

With local bus routes nearby, Upminster Station approximately 1.2 miles away, and Upminster Hall Playing Fields just 328ft from the property, this is a location that combines convenience, connectivity and access to outdoor space.
