Summary - BURLEIGH COURT FLAT 40 STATION ROAD WESTCLIFF-ON-SEA SS0 8HE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bedroom top-floor flat with sea views, long lease and off-street parking — under 0.5 mile to the beach..
Top-floor flat with excellent sea views
This top-floor, two-bedroom purpose-built apartment offers clear sea views and a long unexpired lease (186 years), making it a practical choice for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen feels modern and bright; photos show a well-presented interior with laminate and wooden floors and contemporary fittings. The property includes a separate dressing room and allocated off-street parking.
The location is a major draw: under 0.5 miles to the beach and esplanade, a short walk to the railway station, shops, hospital and local amenities. Broadband speeds are fast and the EPC is C, which should reassure buyers concerned about energy performance. Communal areas are maintained and there is an annual service charge and regular reviews for ground rent and service charge as noted in the lease details.
Buyers should note a few practical downsides. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can be more expensive to run. The building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation, so further insulating work might be needed to improve comfort and reduce bills. The area records higher crime levels and significant local deprivation; buyers should view in person to assess the neighbourhood. Service charge is around £1,600 per year and communal maintenance costs should be factored into affordability.
Overall this compact 2-bedroom flat suits buyers wanting seaside access and commuter convenience with a secure long lease. It offers immediate move-in potential with scope for energy upgrades or cosmetic tweaks to add value.
