This first-floor one-bedroom flat in Southchurch offers bright, airy rooms and a private garden — a strong entry-level buy. The open-plan reception and kitchen are flooded with light from large bay windows, while the double bedroom is generous for the apartment size. The bathroom is notably large and includes a heated towel rail.
Practical details: the flat is leasehold, approximately 415 sq ft, on a mid-terrace building constructed 1930–1949 with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double-glazed though install date is unknown. Council tax is very low and there is no flood risk.
Location is a key benefit: Southchurch’s sought-after residential streets, good primary and secondary schools nearby, fast broadband, and convenient public transport links make this suitable for commuting and local amenities. The wider area is classified as deprived, and the property sits within terraces and flats.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking for a well-presented, move-in-ready flat with outdoor space. Be aware of the leasehold tenure, relatively small overall footprint, and likely limited wall insulation, which may affect running costs and future retrofit plans.
