Summary - SUNNINGDALE COURT FLAT 37 GORDON PLACE SOUTHEND-ON-SEA SS1 1NP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, low-maintenance apartment near seafront and stations.
Purpose-built second-floor retirement flat for the over-60s
A purpose-built second-floor retirement apartment designed for independent living for the over-60s. The one-bedroom layout and 465 sqft offer a manageable, low-maintenance home close to Southend city centre, seafront and both central stations. Communal facilities include a garden, gated car park, lounge, guest suite, laundry and an on-site property manager Monday–Friday mornings.
The apartment benefits from a lift to all floors, double glazing and electric storage heating. It is offered chain-free with approximately 90 years remaining on the lease, making it straightforward to purchase. Good natural light floods the main room, and the modern-fitted shower room is practical for accessible living.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with typical running costs: an average service charge of £2,400 and ground rent around £300 per year. The living room and general finishes are dated and will suit someone happy to personalise or update. Heating is electric storage heaters, so check energy and running costs if switching to alternative systems is desired.
Location is convenient for shopping, public transport and local amenities, but the immediate area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation. For buyers prioritising independent retirement living near transport links and seafront attractions, this flat provides a compact, well-served base with communal support on-site.
