Compact coastal home with communal parking and nearby amenities.
Bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment in popular seaside village
A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment in the heart of West Mersea, a short walk from the seafront and local shops. The flat offers a bright living room, a modern fitted kitchen and a double bedroom — an easy-to-manage home for a single buyer or couple, or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity in a popular coastal village.
Practical positives include private communal parking, shared gardens and no flood risk. The building is fairly modern (early 1990s) and the interior shows clean, updated finishes with laminate floors and double glazing. The wet room layout and integrated kitchen appliances add convenience for day-to-day living.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of around £2,015 and a ground rent of £250, so ongoing costs are a factor. Heating is by electric storage radiators, which can be more expensive than gas and affect running costs. The internal footprint is small (about 321 sq ft), so space is limited and storage is modest.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance coastal base, someone downsizing, or an investor looking for a lettable property with good local demand. Prospective buyers should check lease details, factor in service charges and likely heating costs, and commission their own inspections before committing.
