This freshly refurbished ground-floor apartment blends period kerb appeal with contemporary finish — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a move-ready home in Leigh-on-Sea. The open-plan kitchen/diner features quartz worktops, integrated appliances and bi-fold doors that open onto a private decked garden with external lighting and power suitable for an outhouse or home studio.
The layout includes a spacious lounge and two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom with freestanding tub and walk-in shower, and useful internal storage. The property has been fully rewired and benefits from modern double glazing and a new boiler with radiators, so major mechanical work has largely been addressed.
Practical points to note: the apartment is small at around 496 sq ft and is offered as leasehold with about 149 years remaining. Service charges are modest (about £280) and council tax is very low, but the local recorded crime level is above average. The building is solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) which may affect future energy upgrades.
Location is a genuine selling point: the home sits within catchment for highly rated local schools (including West Leigh Junior and local grammar schools), a short distance to Leigh Broadway, transport links and the seafront — a strong draw for young families or commuters. Overall, this is a low‑maintenance, stylish starter home with outside space and good future resale or rental potential, provided buyers accept the compact footprint and leasehold tenure.
