This two-bedroom first-floor freehold flat sits just 200 metres from Clacton beach, offering straightforward coastal living or a holiday-let opportunity. The reception room’s bay window and a small front balcony bring in good light, while the fitted kitchen and white bathroom provide ready-to-use basics. A combination boiler was fitted in 2024 (new to the property).
Internally the apartment is compact (approximately 528 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional layout with exposed wooden floorboards and period features such as ornamental fireplaces. It will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry seaside property; no onward chain allows for a quicker sale. EPC C and council tax band A keep running costs modest.
Buyers should note a number of practical points: this building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, the area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime is very high, and as a freehold flat some lenders may apply stricter mortgage criteria. The accommodation is best described as a modest, recyclable coastal home that will reward cosmetic updating and targeted improvements.
An early viewing is recommended to appreciate the location and layout. For someone prioritising proximity to the seafront and straightforward accommodation, this property presents a clear, affordable entry to Clacton living.
