Compact first-time home with garage parking and strong rental appeal.
Freehold one-bedroom mews-style maisonette with private entrance

No onward chain — quick completion potential
Compact internal floorplan; rooms are small-to-average in size
No private garden; external space limited to parking/yard
Double glazing and loft access; electric storage heating present
Area shows higher crime and local deprivation — factor in resale/rental
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; very low council tax
This compact one-bedroom mews-style freehold maisonette sits above an arched driveway and offers a private entrance, integral garage with power, and additional off-street parking to the rear. Its lounge/dining room with three front-facing windows provides the main living space; a fitted kitchen, double bedroom and modern three-piece bathroom complete the layout. The home is well suited to a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking a low-entry freehold asset with immediate rental potential.
Practical features include double glazing, loft access, an external storage cupboard and electric storage heating. There is no private garden — external amenity is limited to parking/yard space — so the garage and parking are especially valuable for this property type. The internal footprint is small; rooms are average-to-compact, so expect cosy living rather than spacious rooms.
Location delivers convenience: supermarkets, local shops, bus routes and Shoeburyness parks and beaches are close by. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are both strong, and council tax is very low. However, the wider area shows higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators, which is an important factor for some buyers and investors to consider.
Overall this is a practical starter home or rental opportunity with no onward chain and useful parking provision. It will suit buyers who prioritise location, ownership (freehold) and low initial maintenance, or investors seeking straightforward tenancy potential; anyone wanting larger internal living areas or private garden space should look elsewhere.
