This spacious two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers 945 sq ft of easily liveable space in central Southend, a short walk from the seafront, city centre and Southend East station. The layout includes two generous reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms plus a versatile study area — practical for first-time buyers or those needing a home office. The low-maintenance rear garden and move-in condition make it straightforward to settle in quickly.
Practical details suit modern living: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council tax is described as cheap, and the property’s size and location give clear buy-to-let potential for investors seeking city-centre rental stock.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks. The wider area is recorded as very deprived with very high crime levels, so suitability will depend on personal priorities. The plot is small and there is a single family bathroom, which may be limiting for some households. Also, there is conflicting information on age and style (Victorian features are described in images while construction is listed as 2012 onwards) — buyers should verify the property’s age and any related conservation or building details before purchase.
Nearby schooling options include several Good-rated primary and secondary schools. The property’s combination of central location, excellent connectivity and straightforward presentation will appeal to first-time buyers and landlords prepared to accept the area’s challenges.
