Bright top-floor one-bedroom flat with a private west-facing balcony and genuine sea views, arranged as an open-plan reception with fitted kitchen and a large double bedroom. The home is offered chain free on a long lease (approx. 149 years remaining) and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and shared off-street parking — practical positives for first-time buyers or professionals.
The layout makes the most of its footprint: an open-plan living/dining area opens to the balcony for evening sunsets and fresh sea air, while a generous bathroom includes space for a washing machine. The communal garden provides additional outdoor space and side access, while Westcliff Station and local shops are within easy walking distance for commuters.
Buyers should note material facts honestly: the property is leasehold and carries an average service charge of around £1,800 pa. The building dates from the early 20th century with timber-frame walls (no confirmed insulation), which may mean ongoing maintenance or upgrade works in future. The neighbourhood records higher crime and significant local deprivation — factors to weigh when considering long-term investment or resale value.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented flat that delivers seaside views and convenient transport links at a sensible price point. It suits a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a coastal retreat now, with potential to modernise further to personal taste.
