Summary - MARTINS COURT FLAT 2 STADIUM ROAD SOUTHEND-ON-SEA SS2 5DH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Low-maintenance over-60s living near shops and transport links.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat, chain free
A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat offered chain free and designed for independent living for the over-60s. The apartment overlooks well-kept communal gardens and sits within a purpose-built block with a residents’ lounge, conservatory, launderette, salon and a 24-hour emergency pull-cord system. Immediate practical benefits include double glazing, a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, and convenient on-site facilities supported by a morning development manager.
The property is centrally located near Greyhound Retail Park, Prittlewell station and local shops, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for staying connected. Two resident car parks are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and public transport links and city-centre amenities are within easy reach. The flat’s 477 sq ft footprint is typical for this development and suits a single occupant looking to downsize.
Important factual points: the home is leasehold with 89 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £200 and a service charge (quoted at around £3,066). Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and there is no private garden — outdoor space is communal. The immediate area records higher crime and significant deprivation indices, which prospective buyers should weigh against the property’s low-maintenance communal living.
Overall this apartment offers accessible, low-maintenance retirement living with strong local amenities and on-site support. It suits buyers seeking convenience and community rather than a private, long-term investment requiring major works — investors should note the lease length and ongoing service costs when assessing yield.
