This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Boscombe Road offers unusually generous single-level living and a huge private garden — a rare find close to Southend’s seafront and local amenities. The 57 sq m (approx. 613 sq ft) layout feels bungalow-like, with high ceilings, period features and a flowing plan that makes the most of every room. The property is newly renovated and presented move-in ready.
Ownership is share of freehold, so there’s no ground rent and costs are shared directly with the upstairs neighbour. The west-facing bay-front reception and dual-aspect eat-in kitchen (with integrated appliances and French doors) open onto a 90ft south-facing rear garden ideal for entertaining, gardening or family use. The double bedroom also benefits from direct garden access and peaceful views.
Buyers should note the lease has about 80 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders can be reluctant to lend on shorter leases, so check finance options early. The building has solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and dates from 1930–1949; while refurbished internally, there may be future works where costs are shared with the upstairs owner. The area has pockets of deprivation, average crime and typical urban parking pressures — but fast broadband, good local schools and easy access to parks, stations and seafront add strong everyday convenience.
This property will suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking spacious, low-maintenance ground-floor living with an exceptional garden and straightforward, chain-free purchase. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the garden and the single-level layout.
