Set on the first floor of a Victorian semi-detached building, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-proportioned layout and a long renewed lease (152 years). The separate living room and fitted kitchen give scope to create a comfortable home or a rental with local appeal. It is offered chain-free and vacant.
The property needs modernisation—kitchen fittings and general decor are dated—and the building appears to have solid brick walls with no added insulation. Practical positives include double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas central heating, access to a communal garden and on-street parking.
Location is a clear strength: an eight-minute walk to Westcliff station and under ten minutes to the seafront, shops and cafés. Fast broadband and proximity to a mix of schools make the flat suitable for commuters, first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking seaside rental demand.
Be candid about context: the local area scores high for crime and very high on deprivation indices, which will affect resale and some rental market segments. Service charge (£950 pa) and ground rent (£150 pa) are modest, and council tax band A is very low, helping running costs while renovation is completed.
