Compact new-build flat with rooftop terrace and long lease, ideal for commuters.
Open-plan studio: kitchen, lounge and sleeping area in one space
This contemporary studio sits on Alexandra Street in the heart of Southend, offering a bright open-plan living space with an integrated kitchen and modern bathroom. Built in 2021, the flat comes with a long 250-year lease, video intercom and access to a communal rooftop terrace — practical features for city living and easy entertaining.
The accommodation is presented with high-quality fixtures and integrated appliances, quartz worktops and a luxury three-piece bathroom. At around 45 sq m (517 sq ft), the layout is compact but well planned, suitable for a single buyer or as a buy-to-let targeting nearby students and commuters. Southend Central station, shops and seafront are within walking distance, with direct rail links to London.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is leasehold (250 years remaining) with an average service charge of £1,006 and a ground rent of £250. Heating is electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow and local crime levels are very high, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
Overall, this new-build studio offers low-maintenance city living and strong rental potential because of its location and finishes. It will suit first-time buyers seeking a compact base close to transport and amenities, or investors looking for let-ready accommodation — provided they accept the service charges, electric heating and local neighbourhood challenges.
