Set within the historic Garrison development, this first-floor Victorian apartment offers a compact, characterful home priced for a first-time buyer or investor. The property benefits from a double bedroom, modern fitted kitchen, three-piece bathroom and gas central heating — comfortable essentials in a well-presented period setting. Allocated off-street parking and a long lease (circa 150 years remaining) add tangible ownership advantages.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and direct C2C rail links from nearby Shoeburyness station to London Fenchurch Street, making the flat a sensible choice for commuters or rental demand. The living room’s period fireplace, high ceilings and wooden flooring give the apartment charm that’s often scarce at this price point.
Be candid about limitations: the apartment is small (approximately 425 sq ft) and the wider area scores as deprived with above-average crime — factors that may affect future resale or tenant profiles. The building’s construction dates to the late 19th/early 20th century with solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than newer stock and further insulation or upgrades could be needed.
This is a straightforward, budget-friendly opportunity for someone seeking an entry-level home near transport links or an investor targeting consistent rental demand. The long lease and low council tax help keep running costs down, but prospective buyers should factor in potential maintenance, period-property upkeep and local area considerations when deciding to view.
