Affordable coastal one-bedroom near park and train — long lease and ready to personalise.
Long 188-year lease, chain-free sale
Bay-fronted lounge/diner with high ceilings
Kitchen with breakfast bar; functional layout
One double bedroom; average room sizes (517 sq ft)
Gas central heating and double glazing throughout
Low service charge £260; very low council tax
Very high local crime and high area deprivation
Solid brick walls likely without insulation (may need upgrades)
Step into a roomy one-bedroom first-floor flat in a bay-fronted Victorian terrace, offered chain-free with a long 188-year lease. The apartment features a bay lounge/diner, kitchen with breakfast bar, double glazing and gas central heating — practical comforts for first-time buyers seeking a seaside base or commuter pad.
The location is a major draw: minutes from the seafront, Southchurch Park and within walking distance of Southend East train station. Local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working patterns, while several well-rated primary and secondary schools sit close by.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood and maintenance: the wider area shows very high crime and significant deprivation. The building is an early 20th-century solid-brick construction likely without cavity wall insulation, so heating bills and cold spots are possible despite double glazing and gas heating. Service charge is modest at £260, and council tax is very low.
Overall, this property offers a long lease, coastal convenience and period character at an affordable price. It will suit a buyer ready to accept local area challenges or to invest modestly in comfort improvements.
