Self-contained lower-ground flat — retain or decommission option

High flood risk — resilience work likely required

This seafront mid-terrace offers panoramic Thames Estuary views and flexible accommodation across three floors, making it a strong prospect for investors or families seeking coastal living. The freehold property extends to approximately 1,500 sq ft with a versatile layout that includes a self-contained lower-ground flat currently suitable for rental income or family use.
The house requires renovation and modernisation throughout: interiors are dated, glazing was installed before 2002, and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. There is clear scope to update finishes, reconfigure rooms and add value, but any conversion to multi-occupancy will require planning consent and lender approval.
Externally the plot is a notable asset — a generous rear garden, recently updated decked balcony, off-street parking and a large double garage with power and lighting offer secure parking, storage or workspace. Transport links, seafront amenities and well-regarded local schools are nearby, supporting both rental demand and family life.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone and is in a relatively deprived area; maintenance and flood resilience upgrades will be necessary. Overall this is a good-value coastal freehold with strong capital-growth potential for someone prepared to invest in modernisation or redevelopment.
