This two-double-bedroom split-level maisonette offers practical, ready-to-live-in accommodation ideal for a first-time buyer. The ground floor features a contemporary monochrome kitchen with integrated oven and gas hob, plus a lounge with space for a small dining table. Upstairs are two double bedrooms (one with built-in storage) and a bright white bathroom with bath and overhead shower.
Set within keypad-secured gated grounds, the property includes communal off-street parking and a private entrance, giving a sense of independence within a mid-century residential block. The 754 sq ft layout feels well-proportioned for its size, and mains gas central heating provides reliable warmth. The lease is long (137 years remaining), and council tax is described as cheap.
Location is a clear strength: London Road shops, Chalkwell Park, Chalkwell and Westcliff stations are all within walking distance, with the seafront a short drive away. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding options, making the area suitable for future family planning.
Buyers should note the ongoing costs: an annual service charge of £2,074.20 (including water and building insurance) and a small ground rent of £15.75. Crime levels are reported as above average for the area. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and external walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, which may affect energy efficiency and future maintenance needs.
