Summary - SUNNINGDALE COURT FLAT 8 GORDON PLACE SOUTHEND-ON-SEA SS1 1NP
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Easy-access retirement flat near Southend station with long lease and communal facilities.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with garden access
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in Sunningdale Court, positioned within easy walking distance of Southend Central station and the city centre. The property has a well-proportioned lounge/diner with patio doors leading to a maintained communal garden, an arranged bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a compact fitted kitchen. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, hobbies and games rooms, laundry, large gardens and on-site manager support.
Practical benefits include a long lease (996 years/share of freehold), off-street parking, double glazing and an affordable council tax band. Service charge is approximately £229.78pcm (around £2,757.36pa) which covers communal maintenance and facilities — important for ongoing running costs.
Notable considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, and the property is in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates — factors to weigh for personal safety and ongoing energy expense. The flat is an average-sized 480 sq ft retirement property and may suit someone seeking low-maintenance, centrally located accommodation rather than a larger family home.
This home will appeal to downsizers or anyone moving into sheltered communal living who values proximity to transport, shops and the coastline, combined with supportive on-site services. Buyers wanting lower running energy costs or quieter neighbourhoods should note the electric heating and local area statistics before viewing.
