The flat sits within a Victorian building and benefits from double glazing, fresh decoration and laminate floors throughout. Share of freehold and a long lease (approx. 144 years) give security of tenure, with no onward chain for a straightforward purchase.
The layout is efficient at about 474 sq ft, with a bright reception room opening onto the private garden and an open-plan kitchen that maximises natural light. Practical running costs are helped by a low council tax band, and the location is convenient for Southend University Hospital (walking distance) and Westcliff C2C station (approx. 1.3 miles). Local schools include highly regarded secondary options nearby.
There are a few material points to note: the property is heated by electric storage heaters and relies on electricity as the main fuel, the EPC is currently rated D, and the building has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation. Ground rent is modest at £160. These factors are important for buyers considering long-term running costs or further energy-efficiency improvements. Overall, this is a practical, well-presented apartment with garden potential and secure tenure, suited to buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area or a straightforward rental investment.
