Summary - Southchurch Road, Southend-on-sea, SS1 SS1 2LZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable town-centre flat ideal for first-time buyers.
Bright lounge with plentiful natural light
This one-bedroom apartment offers an honest, affordable entry into Southend town-centre living. The bright lounge and generous double bedroom make the flat comfortable as a first home or rental, while fitted kitchen storage and two hallway cupboards help keep everyday life organised. The modern bathroom with bath and overhead shower adds ready-to-use convenience.
Practicalities are straightforward: the lease has about 120 years remaining and the council tax band is very cheap, helping running costs. Note the property uses electric room heaters (no central gas) and has double glazing installed before 2002, which may mean higher heating bills compared with modern systems.
There are clear local advantages — fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, good primary and secondary schools nearby, easy transport links and quick access to green spaces and the seafront. At the same time, the area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation, and the development-era build (late 1970s–early 1980s) suggests limited modern insulation. Service charges are listed at £1,300 (average) and should be factored into affordability calculations.
For a buyer seeking a low-price entry, straightforward layout and proximity to town and coast, this apartment is a practical choice. For investors, it offers lettable accommodation in a busy urban market, but rental demand and yields should be weighed against local social indicators and heating costs.
