This Edwardian three-bedroom semi-detached house on Leamington Road offers period character, bay windows and a westerly rear garden close to Southend city centre and the mainline station. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, first-floor bathroom and a small front balcony — practical for families or buyers seeking a spacious town home.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: dated decor, worn fixtures and likely insulation and heating upgrades. Internal photos and descriptions show damaged walls, older double glazing and a mid-20th-century hallway that will need updating. Services and appliances have not been tested and buyers should commission their own inspections.
Good value drivers include off-street parking, decent plot size, freehold tenure, substantial room sizes (total c.995 sq ft) and proximity to well-rated schools and local parks. Note the area has a high crime rate and is classified as very deprived — buyers should weigh location risks against purchase price and refurbishment potential.
This home suits a buyer wanting to renovate for owner occupation or an investor willing to restore period features and add modern comforts. With planning and investment it can be transformed into a comfortable family home close to transport links and local amenities.
