Set on the ground floor of a period terrace in the heart of Leigh-on-Sea, this one-bedroom flat combines character features with a surprisingly large private garden. The living room has a boxed bay window, exposed brick fireplace and high ceilings that give the apartment a roomy, period feel. The kitchen is generous for a one-bedroom and opens directly onto the sunny rear garden — an uncommon and valuable amenity for a ground-floor flat.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (948 years), no ground rent or service charge reported, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal. The layout includes a hallway, lounge, fitted kitchen, bedroom, bathroom with separate shower cubicle and a utility/WC that houses the boiler and laundry space. Council tax is described as inexpensive, and there is no flood risk.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-running-cost, period-flat with outdoor space and excellent local amenities. Leigh Broadway, the seafront, parks and the station are all within walking distance, adding convenience and rental appeal. Be aware the building dates from the 1930–49 period and external walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation; buyers wanting higher thermal performance should budget for upgrade works. The vendor states the flat is being sold with vacant possession despite a tenant currently in situ; buyers should confirm occupancy status legally.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful ground-floor flat with a large private rear garden and long lease — a practical, affordable entry into Leigh-on-Sea with clear potential to improve energy efficiency and value.
