A larger-than-average one-bedroom apartment on the top floor of a well-kept modern development, this property suits someone seeking a peaceful, low-maintenance home close to transport links. The L-shaped open-plan lounge/dining area creates a light, flexible living space and overlooks mature communal gardens that provide attractive outdoor space without upkeep.
Designed for retirement living, the block includes a large residents' lounge and is set in an affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for staying connected with family and services. The building dates from the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown).
Practical considerations include electric storage heating, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives, and the property is leasehold — buyers should confirm lease length and service/ground rent charges. The apartment sits on the top floor, so check lift access if mobility is a concern.
Overall this flat offers comfortable, low-effort living in a sought-after Southend location with good rail and bus connections, attractive communal gardens and a social residents' lounge — appealing for downsizers wanting convenience and community.
