About
Situated close to Southchurch Park, the seafront and Southend East station, this spacious ground floor flat offers an exciting opportunity to create a home to your own taste.
Currently arranged as a one-bedroom property, it requires modernisation throughout and offers potential to reconfigure as a two-bedroom flat, subject to any necessary consents.
