About
This attractive one-bedroom ground-floor flat combines spacious accommodation with a private rear garden and a convenient position close to Southend town centre.
It would make an excellent first purchase, comfortable downsize or investment opportunity. The property is approached via an entrance hallway leading to a generously proportioned front lounge.
A wide bay window fills the room with natural light, while the feature fireplace and decorative cornicing add character.
Positioned towards the rear is a practical kitchen/diner fitted with a range of storage units and offering space for appliances and a dining table.
A glazed door opens directly onto the garden, making the space particularly well suited to everyday living and entertaining.
The remaining accommodation includes a well-sized double bedroom and a spacious shower room.
Outside, the property enjoys its own private rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and enclosed lawn and by fencing—ideal for relaxing, gardening or outdoor dining.
The flat is conveniently located within walking distance of Southend High Street, where a wide selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities can be found.
