Just yards from the seafront, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a rare renovation opportunity in a well-connected part of Southend-on-Sea. The property retains period features such as bay windows and a traditional layout with a separate lounge and dining room, giving clear scope to create modern open-plan living while preserving character.
The rear garden faces south and extends to approximately 40ft, providing a sunny outdoor space for children, pets or socialising. Practical aspects include mains gas central heating, double glazing, and on-street parking via a residents' permit scheme. The location is highly convenient — Southchurch Park, Southend East station and local amenities are all within easy walking distance.
Material points to note: the house needs full modernisation and some refurbishment works throughout, with solid brick walls likely lacking insulation. The accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a separate shower room and a separate WC only, and the overall finish is dated. Energy performance is TBC. The area records high crime rates and very high levels of deprivation, which prospective buyers should consider alongside the property’s potential.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this home will suit buyers seeking a project — first-time buyers wanting to add value, or investors looking for rental potential close to the seafront. Viewing is advised to appreciate the plot, layout and proximity to the coast.
