Summary - 5 ALBERT ROAD SOUTHEND-ON-SEA SS1 2HF
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Characterful seafront commuter home with renovation potential and parking.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace with original period features
A compact Victorian mid-terrace with original period features, this three-bedroom freehold home sits a short walk from Southend seafront and two C2C stations. High ceilings, bay windows and sash frames give the house character, while a split-level layout and built-in storage make practical use of the 744 sq ft. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit commuters or renters.
The house offers sensible living space across reception, kitchen/utility and three bedrooms upstairs, plus a small rear garden with patio. It will suit buyers looking to modernise or reconfigure to their taste — there is clear scope to update finishes and services to add value. Local schools are rated Good, supporting family use, and the freehold tenure removes leasehold complications.
Be candid about the context: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime levels. The plot and overall size are small, so the house is best for buyers who value location and period character over expansive gardens or large rooms. Investors should weigh rental demand against the area profile; first-time buyers might view this as an affordable entry with renovation upside.
Practical positives include off-street resident parking, nearby bus links, and easy pedestrian access to shops, town centre amenities and the seafront. Council tax is described as affordable, but planned work and ongoing maintenance should be factored into budgets.
