Summary - 5 BRANKSOME ROAD SOUTHEND-ON-SEA SS2 4HG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Period one-bed with private garden — chain-free and ready for modernisation.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom flat with private front door
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Southchurch offers a rare combination of period character and private outdoor space. The apartment benefits from large bay windows in the bedroom, a roomy reception with garden outlook and its own private front door — features that enhance privacy and light. Proximity to local train lines and Southend city centre make it convenient for commuting and leisure.
The property is a blank canvas in need of modernisation, so it will suit a buyer prepared to update kitchens, bathrooms and finishes to their taste. Solid brick construction and double glazing are present, but the building dates from the early 20th century and some elements (insulation, internal finishes, possibly services) will benefit from investment. The long lease (approx. 142 years) and chain-free sale are positive practical points.
For first-time buyers and investors this flat represents clear upside: reasonable internal space (circa 515 sq ft), a private garden, low council tax and fast broadband. Note the small ground rent (£200) and that the wider area shows higher deprivation metrics — buyers should weigh local demand and refurbishment costs when calculating potential returns. Viewing will show the layout and scope for improvement more clearly.
