This two-bedroom Victorian flat pairs period character—stained-glass bay windows, high ceilings and decorative brickwork—with modern finishes such as a contemporary kitchen and a luxurious bathroom with a roll-top bath. The principal bedroom occupies the full top floor, offering a quiet, light-filled retreat and useful storage. The property extends to around 939 sq ft, unusually generous for a flat, and benefits from a small front garden and good natural light.
The location is a strong practical draw: walking distance to Chalkwell and Leigh-on-Sea stations for commuters, close to shops, cafes and leisure amenities, and set in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council Tax is Band B and there is no local flood risk.
Important purchasing notes: the full market price is £300,000 but over-60s can access the Home for Life Lifetime Lease through Homewise, with a guide price here of £201,000 (typical saving ~33%). The plan lets buyers purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard funds; actual price depends on age and circumstances. Tenure details are listed as leasehold but are not confirmed — buyers must verify lease length, service charges and any other costs.
Condition and construction: the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and double glazing of unknown install date. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. These features give character but also mean there may be future maintenance or insulation upgrades to consider. All measurements and legal details should be checked with your solicitor.
