This ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits on Quebec Avenue, moments from Southend high street, the main station and bus terminal. Set within an attractive period building, the bay-front reception and high ceilings give character and good natural light. The flat is liveable now and ideal for someone seeking single-level, low-maintenance town-centre living.
Running costs are exceptionally low — a £50 annual ground rent and £500 service charge (including buildings insurance) — and the property includes a rare private lock-up garage (4.95m x 2.51m). A modern combi boiler (circa two years old) and full double glazing help with efficiency and comfort. Residents’ permit parking is available directly outside for a small yearly fee.
The flat needs cosmetic updating in places, offering clear potential to add value through refurbishment. It is offered chain-free and could suit a cash buyer or someone able to carry out works gradually. Note the lease has 62 years remaining; while some lenders will mortgage this, many may refuse, so confirm finance options early.
Be candid about the location: the area has higher-than-average crime levels and local deprivation indicators. For buyers prioritising convenience, low running costs and a rare garage in town-centre Southend, this property presents a practical, affordable opportunity — but budget for renovation and check mortgage availability against the remaining lease term.
