Set on Alexandra Street in the heart of Southend, this newly renovated one-bedroom studio offers 48 sqm (516 sqft) of open-plan living with high-quality finishes. The fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and quartz worktops; the bathroom features a luxury three-piece suite with high-spec tiling and underfloor heating. A communal rooftop terrace provides outdoor space and street-level amenities and transport are a short walk away.
The flat is leasehold with a long 250-year term remaining, making it straightforward for buyers who want security without immediate lease concerns. Practical running costs are clear: an annual service charge of around £1,110 and a small ground rent of £250. Primary heating is by electric room heaters, and the property uses electricity as its main fuel.
Note the material negatives factually: the local area records very high crime rates and the immediate neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow — important if you work from home — and the building is served by electric room heaters rather than central gas heating. These factors will affect living costs, convenience and resale or rental appeal.
This property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance, city-centre studio with modern fittings and excellent transport links to London. It will especially appeal to those prioritising location and quality interior finishes, and who accept the trade-offs of local crime levels and limited broadband performance.
