There is not much else in Borough Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
