This light-filled first-floor apartment combines period character with contemporary finishes across a practical 680 sq ft layout. A large bay-windowed reception room and modern galley kitchen create comfortable living spaces, while two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
A notable benefit is the rare private garden for an apartment, offering an outdoor seating area and room for plants or entertaining. The long lease (156 years remaining) provides tenure security; the property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Be candid about local factors: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics and a ‘hampered neighbourhoods’ local classification. Transport links are strong—Southend East station is about a mile away and Southend city centre is within 1.8 miles—making commuting and amenities easily accessible.
Overall this apartment is a practical, well-presented choice for first-time buyers wanting outside space or investors seeking a city-centre rental. Buyers should weigh the neighbourhood challenges alongside the property’s internal condition and long lease term.
