This ground-floor two-bedroom flat sits on Woodgrange Drive within easy reach of Southend seafront, the city centre and the rail station — a genuinely convenient spot for commuting and seaside weekends. The bright 14'11" lounge, two double bedrooms and a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom provide a straightforward, ready-to-live-in layout, complemented by double glazing, gas central heating and off-street parking.
Outside, the compact rear garden and small front area give private outdoor space and scope for low-cost landscaping or a shed. The property is chain-free, which can speed up a move for a buyer wanting immediate occupation.
Important lease information is critical: the flat has 83 years remaining on the lease and a ground rent of £250 per year. This lease length is short enough to affect mortgage availability and value; renewing the lease will be necessary sooner rather than later and will incur cost. The building is an older Edwardian terrace with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) so buyers should budget for potential improvement and energy-efficiency works.
The local context is mixed. The location benefits from excellent transport links, good nearby schools and fast broadband, but the area records higher-than-average crime and levels of deprivation. For a first-time buyer seeking an affordable seaside-oriented home, or an investor prepared to manage lease renewal and local letting dynamics, this flat offers clear potential if the lease issue and local market factors are accepted upfront.
