Large bright bay-fronted lounge with period features
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Torquay Drive offers generous internal space and a rare private rear garden in Leigh-On-Sea. The large bay-fronted lounge, high ceilings and period features create a bright, characterful living space that feels larger than typical one-bed flats. The property benefits from a separate entrance and direct garden access, giving more privacy than communal-block flats.
The kitchen and bathroom are described as modern and fitted, and the bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in wardrobe. Practical details suit first-time buyers: share of freehold, 120 years remaining on the lease, no ground rent and no service charge listed, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location is strong — a short walk to Leigh Broadway shops, cafes and Leigh station, with several well-regarded schools nearby.
Buyers should note some maintenance and lifestyle considerations. The building is solid-brick construction likely without cavity-wall insulation and may benefit from energy upgrades. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average. The rear garden is a valuable feature but is small-to-average in length and requires routine upkeep. Overall, this flat suits buyers seeking period character, outdoor space and a central Leigh location, with some scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes.
