Step into a bright two-bedroom first-floor flat offering open-plan kitchen/living space and practical modern fixtures. At around 665 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable, move-in-ready home with room for personal upgrades.
The property benefits from double glazing, efficient electric heating, secure telephone entry, external bike storage and access to communal roof terrace and gazebo—useful extras for urban living. The building dates from the mid-2000s and the 99-year lease provides long-term tenure for buyers.
Location is a strong practical draw: short walk to Prittlewell mainline station, quick access into Southend town centre and local schools rated Good or Outstanding. Note the area has above-average crime and sits in a deprived local profile, so buyers should factor community and security considerations into their plans.
Internally the kitchen appears modern but shows signs of upkeep; the electric room heaters are efficient but may be more expensive than gas alternatives. This is a sensible, lower-priced entry onto the market with clear potential to add value through cosmetic updates and careful energy-management choices.
