A bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment that pairs period character with contemporary finishes. High ceilings and large windows create a spacious, airy feel while an open-plan kitchen/lounge suits modern living and socialising. The property benefits from wooden flooring, a tiled bathroom with separate W/C and practical built-in storage.
Outdoor space is a genuine bonus: a shared rear garden with gated side access and a tidy front boundary give a semi-detached townhouse feel in a coastal setting. Location is a key strength — minutes from Westcliff seafront, local cafés, shops and within walking distance of the station for commutes.
Important tenure note: there are 55 years currently remaining on the lease, but completion includes a 90-year extension (making 145 years). Until any extension is formalised some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend; buyers should confirm financing before proceeding. Annual ground rent is £120 and the building is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, which may affect running costs.
The neighbourhood offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but the area shows higher deprivation and elevated crime levels; weigh lifestyle benefits of coastal proximity against local social factors. This apartment will suit someone looking for character, a coastal location and a manageable, well-presented home — buyers should bring verified funds or lender confirmation given the lease position.
