This substantial five-bedroom Victorian semi delivers immediate rental income and clear refurbishment upside. Currently arranged as six letting rooms and producing circa £31,460 per annum, it suits investors seeking an income-generating asset in central Southend. The property is chain-free and offers practical benefits including off-street parking and an approximate 50ft rear garden.
The accommodation is generous: well-proportioned reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms and flexible room layouts across ground and first floors. Original features such as bay windows and period fireplaces remain, giving scope to enhance character while improving rental appeal or family comfort. Double glazing has been installed post-2002 and mains gas central heating is in place.
Important negatives are straightforward: the house needs renovation and cosmetic updating throughout, some rooms are dated and one listed room is currently unused for rent. Walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated, so energy-efficiency works may be required. The property sits in an area with higher deprivation indicators and average crime levels, which affects tenant profiles and management needs.
For an investor this is a value-add opportunity — refurbish to increase rents and yield. For a family buyer it offers roomy accommodation in a highly connected location close to the city centre, stations and seafront, but be prepared for renovation costs and energy-efficiency improvements.
