Summary - PORTCHESTER COURT FLAT 1 CHALKWELL PARK DRIVE LEIGH-ON-SEA SS9 1NR
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Light two-bedroom retirement flat with balcony, gardens, parking — short lease, no onward chain.
Ground-floor retirement apartment with private south-facing balcony
Designed for over-65s, this ground-floor retirement apartment offers step-free access and a private balcony facing well-kept communal gardens. The living room benefits from sliding glass doors that flood the space with light; a refitted kitchen and shower room reduce immediate maintenance needs. Communal parking and proximity to local shops, cafés, restaurants and the mainline station make day-to-day life convenient.
The apartment is compact (about 560 sq ft) with two bedrooms and one shower room — comfortable for single buyers or couples seeking a low-maintenance home near Leigh-on-Sea’s amenities. The block dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and has double glazing; the building sits in a very affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Important lease and servicing points are factual and material: the lease has around 59 years remaining, which will limit mortgage options and could deter some lenders. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, so running costs may be higher than with central heating. Tenure details are not confirmed, so buyers should obtain formal legal and mortgage advice prior to offer.
Offered with no onward chain, this apartment suits downsizers or retiring buyers who prioritise location and ease of access over long-term ownership flexibility. There is potential to personalise and refresh the interior, but buyers should factor in the lease length and heating type when assessing value and financeability.
