Leighton Avenue, Leigh-on-sea, SS9 1, SS9 1QB

Character and Coastal Living Behind a pretty frontage on Leighton Avenue, this two-bedroom first-floor flat brings together traditional character, bright interiors and two outdoor spaces.

Picture rails, decorative cornicing and coloured glass lend individuality, while a west-facing rear garden adds an appealing dimension to daily life.

The central hallway connects each room, creating a division between living and sleeping spaces. At the front, the lounge offers room for both comfortable seating and a dining table.

A broad window frames leafy street views, with coloured panes adding a subtle wash of colour above the glazing.

The separate kitchen pairs white cabinetry with warm wood-effect worktops and metro-tiled splashbacks. Its galley layout makes practical use of the space, with a built-in oven, hob and extractor.

A rear door provides direct access to the garden via a set of steps, making outdoor lunches and summer evenings easy to enjoy.

The master bedroom sits at the rear, offering a restful setting with space for wardrobes. The second bedroom opens onto the front balcony and would also suit a nursery or home office.

A neatly presented bathroom completes the accommodation, with an over-bath shower, countertop basin and chrome towel rail.

Space Outdoors Outside, the enclosed rear garden combines a lawn with a decked seating area beneath a timber pergola.

Its westerly aspect invites afternoons outdoors, with room for planting and a useful shed. Leigh’s independent shops, cafés and restaurants complement the home’s welcoming character.

The Broadway and waterfront offer opportunities for leisurely weekends, from browsing boutiques to walks beside the estuary.
