This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian mid-terrace close to Southend town centre and mainline stations, offering an affordable step onto the property ladder. The living space feels light and practical, with a modern kitchen, double bedrooms and a private, low-maintenance rear garden — a rare, useful outside space for a ground-floor home.
The property benefits from a very long lease (169 years), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and a modest council tax band. At about 614 sq ft, the layout is compact but usable for first-time buyers or couples seeking easy access to shops, seafront and transport links into London.
Buyers should note material local-area factors: recorded crime levels are very high and the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived. The building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation, so heating costs and future retrofit may be considerations. Ground rent is modest at £100 per year. Overall, this is a straightforward, well-presented starter home with commuter convenience and scope for energy improvements over time.
