This one-bedroom flat in Skyline Plaza offers straightforward, low-maintenance city living in central Southend-on-Sea. The layout includes a bright lounge, a generous kitchen/diner with built-in storage and a double bedroom — practical accommodation for a single occupant or couple. The property is chain free and has a very long lease (976 years).
The block has lift access and the flat comes with one allocated off-street parking space to the rear. Double glazing and electric room heaters keep running costs simple, and the 487 sq ft footprint is well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking proximity to Southend Central and Southend Victoria stations, shops and the seafront.
Important practical points: the building dates from the late 1960s/1970s and is of system-built construction with no confirmed wall insulation. Heating is electric only, and the property incurs a service charge (approx. £1,890 pa) and a small ground rent (£100 pa). The surrounding area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which buyers should factor into long-term plans.
Overall this is a pragmatic city-flat purchase: convenient, easy-to-manage and move-in ready, with clear potential for investors or first-time buyers who prioritise location and transport links over period character or extensive finishes.
