Set across the first and second floors of a Victorian mid-terrace, this large three-bedroom freehold apartment delivers exceptional south-facing estuary vistas and generous period proportions. The principal reception is open-plan with a bay window and balcony; the bespoke kitchen/breakfast room and utility add modern convenience. There are three balconies in total and direct access to a private, paved rear garden with a purpose-built garden room currently used as a gym.
The layout suits a family seeking space and seaside lifestyle — the master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own balcony with water views, while an additional double bedroom and a flexible ground-floor room (used as an office) complete the accommodation. Three bathrooms/ cloakrooms across the floors reduce morning rushes and increase lettable or multi-generational potential.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is pre‑1900 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so further insulation/upgrades may be required. Council tax is above average for the area and the neighbourhood records high crime levels; the local area is described as very deprived. The plot is small and front parking is limited to one off-street space.
On the positive side, practical features include double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working. The beachfront is directly opposite and Hamlet Court Road’s shops, cafés and Westcliff station are walkable, making this a characterful seaside home with strong lifestyle appeal.
