Ready-to-move-in Victorian conversion near rail links and high street amenities.
Chain free with 995-year lease remaining
Set on the second floor of a Victorian terrace, this recently refurbished two-bedroom flat offers bright, ready-to-move-in accommodation in central Southend. The long 995-year lease and peppercorn ground rent remove common leasehold worries, while a newly fitted combination boiler and double glazing improve efficiency and comfort.
Accommodation includes a spacious main bedroom with eaves storage, a light living room and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated hob and oven. The bathroom is fully tiled and finished to a contemporary standard. At about 625 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance city property.
Practical notes: the property is chain free and close to Southend rail links, shops and amenities, making commuting straightforward. Service charges average £1,256.50 per year. The kitchen is compact and rooms are served by Velux windows, which bring light but may limit traditional outward views.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood: crime levels are reported as very high and the wider area is assessed as very deprived. These factors affect appeal and resale in the short term but can be offset by the flat’s location, refurbishment and long lease for buyers prioritising convenience and value.
