This chain-free-three-bedroom maisonette with a private garden is an excellent opportunity for any first-time buyer. And for investors, this is exactly the kind of place to attract and retain long term tenants.

Most first homes are great for getting you on the housing ladder but get outgrown fast. A spare room becomes a nursery, a nursery becomes a bedroom, and suddenly you're back on the market two years after you moved in. This one's built to keep up with you for longer.

Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in Araglen Avenue, this three-bedroom maisonette sits on the first floor with its own outside staircase up to your own front door.

Inside, the layout is simple and straightforward: A landing leads through to the kitchen, a bathroom with a shower over the bath, two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a lounge with new carpet already laid.

That third bedroom is the quiet hero here. Whether it's a home office, a nursery down the line, or simply somewhere for guests, it gives you the kind of flexibility that means you're not immediately planning your next move.

And out back, there's a private garden. That’s genuinely rare for a flat - especially an upstairs flat - and something most buyers in this price bracket don't expect to get. It's been cleared, levelled and is ready for whoever moves in to landscape it and make it their own.

Being chain-free means there's no waiting around on someone else's sale falling into place - if you’re currently renting or living with parents you can move at your own pace, not someone else's timeline.

For the practical stuff: There's a combi boiler in the kitchen, the whole place is double glazed and parking bays sit out front (they’re not allocated, but there when you need them).

The 125-year lease has 87 years remaining, with a service charge of around £560 a year and ground rent of £10 a year.

Getting around from here is easy. Ockendon station is about a 20-minute walk, with C2C trains running to Upminster in around 10 minutes and London Fenchurch Street in 35 to 40.

If you'd rather drive, the A13 is close by for routes into London, Rainham and Southend, and the M25 is about 10 minutes away for anything further afield.

Families are well covered too - Shaw Primary Academy and Bonnygate Primary School are both less than a 10-minute walk away, with other local primary schools available too with Harris Academy Ockendon around half a mile away for older kids.

At the weekend, Belhus Woods Country Park and Davy Down are both nearby for walks that don't involve a car journey first. Daily shopping is sorted with a parade of shops on Daiglen Drive, including a Lidl and Lakeside shopping centre is a short drive away for everything else.

For investors, the appeal is the same - just from a slightly different angle. A property with flexibility built in and genuine room to grow is exactly what keeps tenants renewing year after year rather than moving on the moment their circumstances change. Fewer void periods, fewer re-letting costs, and a garden that's a genuine draw in a market where most flats can't offer one.

This maisonette works because it doesn't ask you to choose between flexible space and affordability or between a garden and a flat's price tag. Three bedrooms, private outside space, no chain - it's the kind of first home that buys you time before you need to think about the next one, and the kind of rental that keeps tenants settled.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing. Quote RT0654 when calling to view. Calls answered 24/7.
