This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment combines generous room sizes with practical extras such as allocated parking and a private garage. The large lounge/diner with a Juliette balcony brings in light, and the modern kitchen and bathroom keep day-to-day living straightforward. With around 940 sq ft, the layout feels roomy for a first home or buy-to-let.
Location is a strong selling point: a short walk to Chalkwell station for fast commutes, Leigh Broadway’s cafés and shops nearby, and the seafront within easy reach. The property sits in a semi-detached, early-20th-century block with well-kept communal gardens and double glazing.
Tenure is share of freehold with about 152–154 years remaining on the lease, which is a long lease for peace of mind. Service charges average £1,250 per year and council tax sits at Band D. These running costs should be factored into budgeting.
Be aware of a few material points: the building’s original solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. Crime levels in the area are above average, so check safety measures you may want to add. Overall, this apartment offers spacious living, good transport links, and coastal access — attractive for first-time buyers seeking space and convenience, or investors targeting rental demand near transport and the seafront.
