Set within a purpose-built block in Leigh-on-Sea, this one-bedroom first-floor flat offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let in a well-regarded suburb. The long lease and chain-free sale simplify purchase, while two allocated parking spaces and communal gardens add practical everyday value. Local shops, Leigh Broadway, the Old Town and the c2c station are all walkable, making the location a key selling point.
The flat has a comfortable lounge, double bedroom with fitted mirrored wardrobes, contemporary bathroom and a modern fitted kitchen with electric hob and built-in oven. Accommodation is compact (approximately 446 sq ft) and presented in a tidy, modern style from the 1980s build era. Council Tax band B indicates relatively low running costs for the area.
Note the property is electric-heated via storage heaters and runs on electricity as the main fuel; this may mean higher energy costs than gas-heated homes. The kitchen is small and the layout is traditional, so buyers seeking large open-plan spaces should expect some compromise. The building’s double glazing is in place but install dates are unknown.
Overall this home suits first-time buyers wanting a manageable starter home close to amenities, or investors seeking a straightforward rental in an affluent, low-flood-risk area with strong local schools nearby. Early viewing is sensible given the combination of long lease, parking and walkable location.
