This first-floor one-bedroom flat offers bright, practical living a short walk from Westcliff seafront and excellent rail links to London. The lounge/diner benefits from large windows and wood flooring, while a contemporary kitchen and stylish bathroom give the flat a move-in feel. At about 506 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer, city commuter or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward accommodation in a well-serviced neighbourhood.
The building is an Edwardian-era construction (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls; double glazing was installed before 2002 and mains gas central heating is provided by a boiler and radiators. The long lease (about 125 years remaining) and a below-average annual service charge (£600) are practical ownership points; Council Tax is very low (Band A), helping running costs.
Buyers should note the wider area context: the neighbourhood has a high crime rate and is classified as very deprived, though it offers strong transport, supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury’s), and local amenities. The building may lack modern wall insulation and some communal or external elements could need updating over time — factor potential maintenance when budgeting. Overall, this flat is a convenient, well-located option for those prioritising commuter access and seafront proximity over a pristine neighbourhood setting.
