Minutes from Westcliff station with long lease and low charges.
Allocated off-street parking space included
Positioned seconds from Westcliff station and the beachfront, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment offers low-running costs and practical commuter living. The lounge-diner opens onto a private west-facing balcony and the flat benefits from allocated off-street parking and access to a large west-facing communal garden. A long lease (approx. 151 years) and very low service charges make it straightforward to own.
Internally the layout is efficient: a double bedroom, a kitchen-breakfast room with a large walk-in pantry, and a modern three-piece bathroom. The property is compact (around 424 sq ft) and will suit someone wanting a low-maintenance home close to transport links, shops and the seafront.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the building is older brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation, and the surrounding area has high crime levels and significant local deprivation. The flat is small, so storage and living space are limited despite the useful pantry and balcony. These factors may affect suitability for some buyers and any future resale or rental yield assumptions.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who prioritises location, very low ongoing costs and long lease security, and who is comfortable with a compact home in an area with mixed social indicators. Offered with no onward chain, it’s ready for a quick move or let.
