This well-presented one-bedroom freehold is a compact, practical home for a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking outdoor space and easy access to local amenities. The living room opens to a bright conservatory, extending the footprint and bringing natural light into the heart of the house. A modern kitchen and bathroom make the property move-in ready for everyday living.
Outside, a private wrap-around garden with a patio and storage shed provides a rare low-maintenance outdoor space for Southend properties at this price. Off-street parking for one to two cars is a useful convenience in this cul-de-sac location. The home sits a four-minute walk from Morrisons and about six minutes by car from London Southend Airport, making shopping and travel straightforward.
Notable practical points: the property is compact at about 517 sq ft and has just one double bedroom, so it suits single buyers or couples rather than families needing extra rooms. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and may require updating over time. Crime levels in the area are above average — prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures. The accommodation was constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while generally well kept, offers limited scope for internal expansion.
Overall this is a tidy, affordable freehold option for those prioritising outside space, parking and convenience to shops and transport. Its size and single-bedroom layout make it a sensible step-on property for many buyers; budget for potential glazing/energy improvements and check local security if those factors are important to you.
