This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment is offered chain-free within a well-maintained development close to Southend Victoria Station and the town centre. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, communal gardens, laundry and on-site hairdresser, providing convenience and sociable communal space for over-60s.
The flat needs modernisation throughout — the living space is spacious with a semi open-plan kitchen, fitted bedroom wardrobes and a fitted bathroom, but dated decor and electric storage heating mean refurbishment will be required to bring the property up to contemporary standards. Tenure is leasehold with 89 years remaining.
