Slow broadband and average mobile signal in area
A compact first-floor maisonette set in a quiet Clacton suburb, offered chain-free and ready for immediate purchase. The one-bedroom layout and modest running costs (Council Tax Band A, EPC C) suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance coastal base. Communal parking and shared garden space add practicality without private garden upkeep.
Important practical points are clear: the property runs on electric room heaters and has slow broadband; buyers should factor these running and comfort limitations into plans. Service charge and ground rent are both modest at £90 per year, but the lease has only 78 years remaining — this is a material issue that will likely affect mortgage eligibility and future value unless extended.
Internally the rooms are a sensible size for a maisonette, with a contemporary kitchen and light living space. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and appears maintained, but any buyer wanting long-term security should investigate lease-extension costs and lender criteria before committing.
This is a pragmatic, low-cost entry into the local market: good for cash buyers, investors able to buy without standard mortgage lending, or first-time buyers prepared to address the lease situation. The property offers straightforward potential for modest improvements to heating and connectivity to increase comfort and appeal.
