Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offering bright, flexible living in central Southend. The open-plan kitchen/living room benefits from large bay windows and connects directly to a substantial rear garden — rare for a flat and ideal for summer entertaining or adding a private outside space. Two double bedrooms and a fitted bathroom suit first-time buyers or young couples looking for room to grow.
Practical points include off-street parking, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, a long 199-year lease, EPC rating C and low council tax (Band B). The property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, simplifying a quick purchase. Its position places Southend city centre, the seafront and Southend East station within walking distance, with direct links into London.
Be honest about local context: the area records higher crime and is classed as very deprived, which may concern some buyers and affect long-term values. The building is a period mid-terrace (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls likely lacking insulation; some exterior repairs are visible, so further maintenance or upgrade costs are possible.
This flat is best for first-time buyers who value outside space, commute convenience and immediate move-in readiness but are prepared to accept local area challenges and invest selectively in finishes or insulation over time.
