We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Guide Price £180,000 to £190,000 - Character Apartment with Private Terrace | Allocated Parking | Long Lease | Chalkwell Location | No Chain Situated within an imposing Edwardian building in the heart of highly sought-after Chalkwell, this spacious first-floor apartment offers a rare combination of character, private outside space, allocated parking and exceptional convenience, all within easy reach of Westcliff Station, Hamlet Court Road and Chalkwell Park.
Offered with no onward chain, the property is an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers or commuters seeking a low-maintenance home in one of South Essex’s most desirable locations.
One of the property’s standout features is its unique accessibility.
In addition to the attractive communal entrance at the front of the building, the apartment can also be accessed directly from the rear parking area, allowing entry straight into the lounge/diner.
This provides a level of convenience and privacy rarely found with apartment living. The property also benefits from superb outside space.
Directly accessed from the lounge/diner is a private terrace measuring an impressive 16ft in width, providing ample space for outdoor seating, alfresco dining or simply relaxing with a morning coffee while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Internally, the apartment offers bright and spacious accommodation throughout, enhanced by high ceilings and attractive character proportions.
The generous lounge/diner provides excellent space for both living and dining furniture and benefits from an entry phone system.
A spacious inner lobby creates a strong sense of separation between the living and sleeping accommodation and features a deep built-in storage cupboard, making this a particularly practical home with storage levels rarely found in similar apartments.
The double bedroom is an excellent size and benefits from a dual-aspect layout, allowing plenty of natural light while comfortably accommodating king-size bedroom furniture.
The bathroom is modern, light and airy, fitted with a three-piece suite incorporating a shower over the bath, while the L-shaped kitchen is well equipped with excellent storage and workspace.
Externally, residents enjoy use of the attractive communal gardens, which are beautifully maintained and include lawn and decking areas, providing additional outdoor space to enjoy throughout the year.
The property also benefits from an allocated parking space to the rear, alongside additional on-street parking nearby. The location is one of the property’s strongest selling points.
Positioned within one of Chalkwell’s most desirable residential roads, the apartment is within easy walking distance of Westcliff Station, providing direct rail services into London Fenchurch Street and making it an excellent choice for commuters.
Hamlet Court Road is also close by, offering an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, bars, shops and everyday amenities, while Chalkwell Park and the seafront remain easily accessible for leisure and recreation.
For those who enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Leigh-on-Sea, the fashionable Leigh Broadway is only a short drive away, providing a further array of boutique shops, restaurants and coastal attractions.
Further benefits include a long and secure lease with approximately 171 years remaining, a fixed annual ground rent of just £125 per annum and a professionally managed service charge of approximately £1,500 per annum, which includes buildings insurance and maintenance of the communal areas and gardens.
Combining character, outside space, parking, excellent storage and a highly convenient location, this is a rare opportunity to secure a property that genuinely ticks all the boxes.
