This deceptively spacious one-bedroom first-floor flat offers practical, affordable living close to Southend Airport and the airport train station. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and a large bedroom with built-in storage give a roomy feel across the 496 sq ft layout, and the apartment is offered chain free with a long 106-year lease.
Practical features include off-street communal parking, maintained communal gardens and double glazing installed after 2002. Heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators, and the property’s size and location make it suitable for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking immediate rental potential near transport links.
Buyers should note a service charge of about £1,700 per year and a small ground rent of £100 annually. The wider area shows above-average crime and high deprivation scores, and while the kitchen appears modern, other finishes are basic and could benefit from updating. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and long-term suitability for either home or investment use.
