A compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat with a private paved garden close to Southend East station. The layout is traditional: a generous lounge with bay window and high ceilings, a separate kitchen, double bedroom and a bathroom. The property is chain free and well-located for shops, buses and local schools.
Practical running costs are favourable: below-average service charge (£110), modest ground rent (£100) and very cheap council tax. Main heating is mains gas supplemented by room heaters; glazing is double but installation date is unknown. The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls (no installed insulation assumed).
There are some important considerations: the flat is small (approx. 344 sq ft) and the lease has 87 years remaining. The area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are high, which may affect resale and rental demand. Where improvement is planned, the property offers straightforward refurbishment potential — short-term investors or buyers planning upgrades will find scope to add value.
Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance home for an entry-level buyer or a buy-to-let investor who accepts a compact footprint and recognises the need to factor in area and lease considerations when assessing long-term value.
