Located in a high-crime, deprived urban area—consider local context
This well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits on an upper floor with lift access, positioned in the heart of Southend-on-Sea close to mainline stations and the seafront. The open-plan living area and private balcony provide bright, flexible living space with contemporary fitted kitchen appliances and high-performance glazing for thermal efficiency.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite; a second double bedroom and a modern three-piece bathroom complete the accommodation. Built-in storage and access to communal roof terraces extend the usable space, and there is the option to rent a private parking space if required.
Practical details suit both buy-to-let purchasers and city dwellers: gas central heating, fast broadband, an exceptionally long lease (997 years) and a manageable council tax band. Note the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of around £1,200 and parking is not guaranteed unless rented separately.
Be honest about location factors: the building is in a busy urban centre with high crime statistics and an area classed as deprived. For buyers seeking central living or strong rental demand near transport and seafront amenities, this apartment offers contemporary finishes and clear lettable appeal, but those prioritising low-crime or quieter suburban settings should consider the local context.
