Compact renovated flat near the seafront and stations, ideal for first-time buyers.
Open-plan modern kitchen/living area, 494 sq ft
Step into a newly renovated one-bedroom flat at the top of Southend-on-Sea’s high street, just a short walk from the seafront and mainline stations. The open-plan kitchen/living area makes efficient use of 494 sq ft, with contemporary finishes, double glazing, and gas central heating providing comfort and low running costs. The building’s Edwardian exterior and high ceilings add character to modern interiors.
This upper-floor apartment benefits from stairs and lift access, a long lease (115 years remaining) and is offered with no onward chain, making it straightforward for a first-time purchase. The property suits buyers seeking a compact city-centre home or a buy-to-let opportunity in a busy coastal town.
Buyers should note the immediate area records very high crime and significant deprivation, which may affect long-term capital growth and insurance considerations. The flat is in a busy commercial and leisure zone, so noise and footfall are likely. The property has been maintained to a high standard internally but is best suited to purchasers comfortable living in a dense urban centre.
Overall this is a practical, move-in ready option for someone wanting coastal access, public transport links to London, and modest running costs. An early internal viewing will show the efficient layout and the balance of period exterior and contemporary internal finish.
