Guide price £230,000–£240,000. This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers practical living space in a post-war block close to Southend University Hospital and local rail links. At about 560 sq ft it suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable property with parking and a garage.
The apartment is presented in good condition with a contemporary living room, a functional kitchen and one bathroom. Double glazing is fitted (installed before 2002) and the property uses mains gas boiler and radiators. Share of freehold ownership gives longer-term control over the building compared with a short lease.
Stand-out conveniences include off-street parking for two cars and an allocated single garage that can provide storage or additional income potential. The location offers easy commuting by C2C and Greater Anglia services and local amenities within walking distance.
Important considerations: the overall internal size is modest at around 560 sq ft, so space is limited for larger households. The local area shows higher crime and deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term resale or rental appeal. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and some elements (older double glazing) may be due for upgrade over time. Communal entrance and ground-floor position should be weighed by buyers who need privacy or accessibility features.
