Summary - 66 WHITEGATE ROAD SOUTHEND-ON-SEA SS1 2LG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Character two-bed with private south garden, near High Street and station.
South-facing private garden with covered lean-to and patio
A well-proportioned two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offering genuine value in central Southend. The home sits within a handsome period building and benefits from high ceilings, a large bay-fronted reception and a generous kitchen/diner that opens directly onto a private, south-facing garden with a covered lean-to, patio and side access.
The master bedroom easily accommodates king-size furniture and also has direct garden access; the second bedroom overlooks the lawn. Practical perks include double glazing, mains gas central heating, residents’ permit parking at low annual cost and very low running charges: an 87-year lease, fixed £100 ground rent and a modest service charge.
Buyers should note important considerations: the lease has 87 years remaining (shorter than new-build norms), the EPC is E, the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and the area records very high crime and very high deprivation levels. These factors may affect mortgage options and resale prospects and could require investment or lease extension work.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking space, period character and outside living close to Southend High Street and transport links, this apartment presents a rare, affordable entry into a central location — provided you allow for lease and neighbourhood-related issues.
