Summary - 438 FAIRFAX DRIVE WESTCLIFF-ON-SEA SS0 9RN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Move-in ready one-bedroom with study, long lease and communal garden — ideal for first-time buyers..
Long lease (166 years) with low service charge (£40 pcm)
A bright one-bedroom flat with a separate study, offered with a long lease (166 years) and ready to move into. The apartment sits in a Victorian mid-terrace and benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, spacious lounge and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes — practical layout for a first-time buyer or commuter.
Practical running costs are low: council tax band B, modest service charge (£40 pcm) and small ground rent (£100 pa). The building uses mains gas with a boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal average. Outside there’s a low-maintenance front area and a communal rear garden.
Location is a clear strength for daily life: buses on the doorstep, about 12 minutes’ walk to Southend Hospital, and a short drive to Westcliff Beach and Chalkwell Park. Westcliff station and the C2C line to London are within easy reach, making this a sensible commuter purchase.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick period property (circa 1900–1929) with assumed lack of wall insulation and some typical Victorian maintenance considerations. The area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth; the flat’s compact size (c.517 sq ft) and single bathroom suit one- or two-person households rather than larger families.
