Summary - Flat 23, Optical Court, 16 Kenway SS2 5DZ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Modern ground-floor flat with parking and excellent transport links — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Open-plan kitchen/living room with wood flooring
A well-presented ground-floor flat offering a spacious open-plan kitchen/living room and two double bedrooms — a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The roomy living space benefits from modern finishes, wood flooring and double glazing, creating a bright, low-maintenance home ready to move into.
Practical extras include one allocated off-street parking space, ample built-in storage and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and working-from-home tenants. The location is convenient: a short walk to Prittlewell station, quick access to the A127 and close to the city centre, local schools and amenities.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 103 years remaining, an annual service charge around £1,038 and ground rent about £300 pa. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can increase running costs. The wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels; that will affect some buyers’ assessments and potential rental yields.
Overall, this is a straightforward, modern flat with clear commuter and rental appeal. It suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable, low-upkeep home or investors looking for a city-location rental with good connectivity — provided the lease and service costs are acceptable to your budget.
