A spacious one‑bedroom first‑floor flat occupying an unexpectedly large footprint for this area, offering near 1,300 sq ft of accommodation and flexible room layout. The property has its own entrance and original 1930s period features, with large windows that bring good natural light to the living room and study area. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it suitable for home working; proximity to the city centre and transport links supports commuting or rental demand.
This is a practical buy-for-purpose home or a renovation-led investment. The flat is in generally good order but shows clear potential for updating — kitchen and bathroom are serviceable rather than modern — and the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated. Leasehold details are favourable with about 154 years remaining; annual charges are low (ground rent £50, service/management and insurance costs apply and are noted).
Buyers should be aware of the wider context: the neighbourhood has very high recorded crime and is in a very deprived area classification, which will affect resale and lettings tone and pricing. The building is older (c.1900–1929), so buyers should allow for typical maintenance, possible insulation or heating upgrades, and to assess the communal insurance and management arrangements.
Overall, the flat offers considerable space and scope to add value through sensible refurbishment. It will suit a buyer seeking generous room sizes within walking distance of Southend city centre, or an investor targeting rental demand from local constrained renters.
