This compact first-floor flat in Shoeburyness offers an affordable entry to homeownership with practical, low-maintenance accommodation. The living space is bright and contemporary, with a modern fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom — suitable for a first-time buyer or investor seeking an easy-to-let home.
The property includes a fully boarded, carpeted loft currently used as an extra sleeping space, and two allocated off-street parking spaces — uncommon for flats in the area. Local amenities are very close: ASDA, shops, bus links and schools are within easy reach, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with approximately 85 years remaining; lease length and any associated service charges will affect mortgage options and future value. Heating is by room electric heaters rather than a central system, and the building sits in an area with higher crime statistics and wider local deprivation — factors worth considering for families or long-term owners.
Overall, this 388 sq ft one-bedroom apartment is a practical, budget-friendly choice for first-time buyers or investors looking for a straightforward, low-upkeep property near transport and local shops. It requires no major cosmetic work but consider lease and heating limitations when planning finances or rental expectations.
