This ground-floor studio apartment in Havengore House offers a rare, chain-free entry into Leigh-on-Sea with a long 140-year lease. Recently refreshed with new flooring and paint, the home is move-in ready and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband—useful for working from home or streaming by the coast.
Set a short walk from Leigh Broadway, the station and the seafront, the location is the biggest draw: shops, cafés, restaurants and transport are all within easy reach. The block includes communal gardens, off-street parking and an individual shed, providing practical outdoor space despite the apartment’s compact layout.
Practical costs and local context are important. The service charge is substantial at approximately £1,950 per year and council tax is low. Crime in the immediate area is reported above average, and the block’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which could affect heating bills long-term—though the property’s boiler and radiators are gas powered.
This studio will suit a cost-conscious first-time buyer or an investor seeking a seaside rental close to transport and leisure amenities. The newly refreshed interior and long lease reduce immediate maintenance concerns; however, factor in the annual service charge and potential future insulation upgrades when assessing overall running costs.
