This contemporary third-floor apartment, built in 2016, offers a bright open-plan lounge/kitchen and a private balcony with extensive views. At about 504 sq ft it’s a compact, well-presented one-bedroom home that’s ready to move into after recent renovation and decorating.
Practical features include a long lease (approx. 121 years remaining), two allocated spaces in a covered secure car park and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for commuters and professionals. Southend East mainline station is within easy walking distance, and the seafront and high street are a short stroll away.
Costs to note: the property is leasehold, with an average service charge of about £1,250 pa and ground rent around £300 pa. The surrounding neighbourhood scores as very deprived and local crime levels are very high; buyers should weigh these location factors carefully.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base or an investor looking for a lettable property near good transport links. The apartment’s condition and two parking spaces are strong practical advantages, but purchasers should consider the area’s socio-economic and crime profile when deciding whether to view or invest.
