Summary - 11a, Palmerston Road SS0 7TA
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Large period flat with sea views, huge loft and new boiler — room to improve.
Over 1,500 sq ft — larger than average flat
Spacious and bright, this much-larger-than-average three-bedroom first-floor flat offers over 1,500 sq ft across two levels with sea views from the living room bay and private balcony. The living/dining room retains Victorian character—bay window, high ceilings and a fireplace—while a modern fitted kitchen provides practical storage and worktop space. A fully boarded loft creates significant additional space for storage or conversion (subject to building regs).
Practical upgrades already completed include a new boiler and a full rewire in 2025, and the long lease (151 years) reduces typical leasehold concerns. Allocated off-street parking and excellent commuter links—Westcliff C2C station is a short walk—add daily convenience. There is also potential to extend upwards, subject to planning permission, which will appeal to buyers wanting to add value.
Buyers should note this is a period property needing some modernisation: double glazing is older (installed before 2002), the solid brick walls likely lack insulation and the flat has a single bathroom. The surrounding area scores high for crime and is listed as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental prospects. Tenure is leasehold and Council Tax Band C is described as affordable.
Overall this property suits purchasers seeking generous space and sea-side lifestyle with scope to improve and personalise — first-time buyers or investors prepared to modernise will find strong potential here. For those prioritising a low-crime, fully renovated neighbourhood, this location may require careful consideration.
