Summary - 7 Darcy House, Spendells Close CO14 8JQ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Short walk to the beach and local shops, ready for updating.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage
A practical two-double-bedroom first-floor flat with no onward chain, positioned a short walk from Walton-on-the-Naze seafront and local shops. The split-level layout includes a small balcony, communal gardens and off-street parking, making it straightforward to rent or move into immediately. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C give reasonable running efficiencies for the age of the block.
The accommodation is compact but usable: lounge with balcony access, fitted kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms with built-in storage. The 120-year lease, low ground rent (£10 pa) and below-average service charge (£401.02 pa) support an investor or first-time buyer cashflow. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, convenient for modern renters or remote workers.
The flat will suit buyers seeking an affordable seaside purchase or a buy-to-let opportunity but it does need cosmetic updating. Internal photos indicate dated finishes and some areas require redecoration or modern kitchen upgrades. The building is mid-20th century system-built construction with assumed limited wall insulation, which may affect long-term energy performance despite current gas heating.
Practical notes: council tax band A and no flood risk. The property is in an area classed as deprived with average crime levels — factors to consider for long-term capital growth and tenant demand. An internal inspection is recommended to assess exact condition and renovation scope.
