Long lease, garage and lift close to stations and seafront.
South-facing balcony with estuary views
Set on the first floor of a well-kept development in the Shorefields Conservation Area, this two-bedroom apartment offers coastal living with practical everyday comforts. A south-facing balcony looks towards the estuary, and the spacious lounge-diner and separate kitchen provide flexible living space for downsizers or those seeking a seaside bolt-hole. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite while a second double bedroom and hallway storage add versatility for guests or a home office.
Practical advantages include a long lease (circa 960 years), a rear garage, visitor parking and a passenger lift for easy access. Excellent transport links are nearby, with Westcliff and Southend Central stations a short walk away, and local cafés, cliff gardens and the beach within easy reach.
Buyers should note the recurring costs and local context: an average annual service charge of around £3,000, council tax rated above average, and a higher local crime rate in the immediate area. The development is in a very deprived local authority area despite pockets of local character and good schools close by.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize to a low-maintenance coastal home or an investor seeking a well-located flat with long leasehold security and garage parking. A viewing will best show the estuary aspect and layout, and to assess finishes and any updating you may want to undertake.
