This tenth-floor one-bedroom apartment offers direct estuary and sea views from a compact, well-laid-out home. The open-plan lounge/kitchen has integrated appliances and quartz worktops, making it attractive to tenants or a couple seeking low-maintenance coastal living. Allocated parking and a concierge add convenience in a central Southend location within a short walk of the seafront and High Street amenities.
The building is leasehold with 140 years remaining; service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs. The property is electrically heated with room heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. The flat’s size is small (approximately 367 sq ft) and has no private outdoor space.
This property suits a buy-to-let investor or a cash buyer seeking a high-floor, sea-view flat with strong rental demand. The estimated gross yield was previously calculated near 10% — investors should verify rents, tenancy demand and local management costs. Be aware the area records higher crime rates and the building service charge and ground rent will affect net return.
A motivated-sale opportunity in a busy coastal town: straightforward, seaside living with modern finishes, useful communal facilities and clear running costs to factor into any offer or rental projection.
