Tucked into a sought-after Leigh-on-Sea street, this first-floor two-bedroom flat offers practical, low-maintenance living with genuine extras. The apartment benefits from its own west-facing rear garden and a garage in a block at the rear — unusual for flats of this size and useful for storage, parking or rental appeal. A bright lounge/diner and fitted kitchen provide comfortable everyday living, while double glazing and a gas combi boiler keep running costs down.
The layout is efficient rather than grand: two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a combined living/dining room make this an economical home for a first-time buyer, couple, or buy-to-let investor. The share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (around 996–999 years) reduce typical leasehold headaches. Service charges are modest (about £50 pcm) and council tax sits in a low band, helping overall affordability.
Be clear on limitations: internal space is small-to-average (around 664 sq ft) and the garden is modest. Access is via stairs to the first-floor flat, which may be less convenient for those needing step-free access. The building dates from the late 1970s and has partial cavity wall insulation assumed — buyers should expect routine maintenance rather than period features.
Location is a practical selling point: quiet residential surroundings close to local parks and well-regarded primary and secondary schools, with good broadband speeds and low local crime. For buyers seeking an affordable entry into Leigh-on-Sea with outdoor space and parking — or investors targeting reliable rental demand — this flat represents sensible value with few ongoing costs.
