This split-level, two-bedroom maisonette on Southend’s Eastern Esplanade offers direct sea views and an open-plan living area that maximises light to the front of the home. The property sits in an end-terrace, early 20th-century building and includes its own rear garden with decking, plus off-street parking — rare for seafront locations.
Internally the layout is practical: a large open-plan living/kitchen on the upper ground floor, two double bedrooms on the lower level and a modern bathroom. The home has double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an efficient floorplan across approximately 797 sq ft.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold (106 years remaining) with annual costs — approx. £1,200 service charge, £200 ground rent and £600 building insurance. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and there are signs of exterior wear and historic damp issues that will require attention. The local area scores high for crime and higher deprivation than average, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
This property suits a buyer looking for seaside living with renovation potential — either as a main home for first-time buyers who want to add value, or a buy-to-let investor targeting coastal demand. Viewing is recommended to judge the condition and the sea views for yourself.
