Summary - Flat 1, 22 St. Vincents Road SS0 7PR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Period character and seaside access — chain free, lease extension negotiable.
Chain free ground-floor one-bed with private garden and off-street parking
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in the Milton Conservation Area, a short walk from Southend city centre and the seafront. It combines Edwardian character — high ceilings, decorative mouldings and a cast-iron period fireplace — with a modern kitchen and solid marble worktops. The private section of garden and one off-street parking space add everyday convenience that’s rare for this location.
The flat is offered chain free and has an immediately affordable Council Tax Band B and a below-average service charge of £750. Its size (approximately 506 sq ft) and location make it suitable for a first-time buyer seeking character and easy access to local amenities, transport links and notable schools nearby.
Important lease information: the current lease term is short and could cause some lenders to refuse a mortgage. The owner is willing to extend the lease to 100 years on completion for a negotiable price — buyers should factor extension costs and mortgage suitability into offers. The building dates from 1900–1929, with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing fitted before 2002, so some thermal upgrades may be desirable.
Practical drawbacks to note: the property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics and local deprivation indicators, and the solid-wall construction may need insulation works. For buyers prepared to manage a lease extension and a few updates, this apartment offers strong location value and period charm with low ongoing charges.
