Set on the first floor of a Victorian terrace, this vacant two-bedroom flat offers a compact urban home or a straightforward buy-to-let near the University of Essex Southend Campus and local transport links. The layout includes a lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and an own section of rear garden — useful private outdoor space in a central location.
The property will be sold at public auction; legal pack contains full service charge and ground rent details. The flat is offered with 86 years remaining on a lease that commenced in 2012, and it is vacant on completion, allowing immediate access for refurbishment or rental. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern tenancy needs.
This is a characterful period conversion with obvious renovation potential — current finishes are dated and will need updating to maximise rental income or owner comfort. Note the local area is classified as deprived with high crime statistics; prospective buyers should factor neighbourhood risk and any required security or improvement costs into their plans.
Practical positives include mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing (install date unknown). The compact size (approximately 421 sq ft) means manageable running costs but limits long-term family use. The property suits investors seeking a near-term rental or first-time buyers prepared to refurbish and personalise.
