Summary - 81A HIGH STREET CANVEY ISLAND SS8 7RE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable central ground-floor flat ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Own private entrance directly into lounge/kitchen
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat in a convenient High Street position, offered with no onward chain and a rare own-entrance door. The layout is straightforward: open-plan lounge/kitchen, inner hall with storage, double bedroom to the rear and a modern bathroom with an electric shower. The property benefits from double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for working from home or streaming.
This is a practical starter home or buy-to-let: long lease (999 years) reduces leasehold risk, and communal off-street parking provides resident convenience on a first-come, first-served basis. The building maintenance and car park are covered by an annual management charge of approximately £1,076 and a nominal ground rent of £10 (details to be legally verified).
The flat is small (c.373 sq ft) and the internal finishes are dated in places — the kitchen is basic and the communal block shows mid-20th-century styling that could benefit from updating. The location sits in a comfortable neighbourhood with good local shops and transport links, but the wider area classification indicates local deprivation; factor this into long-term investment considerations.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-risk entry onto the ladder or an investor after a lettable one-bed in a central town location. Visible positives (own entrance, long lease, low flood risk) are balanced by modest living space, service charges and potential need for modernisation.
