This well-presented first-floor two-bedroom flat offers comfortable, practical living in a convenient Westcliff-on-Sea location. A modern fitted kitchen with a bespoke pantry and integrated appliances is a strong everyday feature, while the lounge/diner provides flexible space for dining and relaxing. The property’s layout suits first-time buyers or couples looking for low-maintenance living.
Outside space has been sensibly converted to provide private off-street parking, with additional communal parking available—an unusual and useful benefit in the area. The flat is double glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and the size (around 700 sq ft) gives room for storage and comfortable living.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold with about 90 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £2,394, and a nominal ground rent. The wider neighbourhood records higher crime and is classified as deprived; that may affect resale values and insurance costs. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and walls are solid brick with assumed limited insulation, so further thermal improvements could be considered.
Overall this flat combines modern internal fittings and practical parking with clear renovation or upgrade potential around insulation and communal-area management. It will appeal most to first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home close to schools, transport links, and local amenities, and to investors looking for rental demand in a well-connected town setting.
