About
Ground floor with private garden | high-spec throughout | impressive open-plan living | 147-year lease | low outgoings A beautifully presented and larger-than-average one-bedroom ground-floor flat with direct access to its own private rear garden, offering approximately 516 sq ft of stylish, ready-to-move-into accommodation.
With generous proportions, high ceilings and everything arranged on one level, it has a surprisingly bungalow-like feel.
The standout feature is the bay-fronted reception room, measuring approximately 13'2" x 11'6", opening directly into the generous 12'4" x 11'5" kitchen/diner to create an impressive open-plan living space.
The modern kitchen was renovated in 2025 and has direct access to the rear garden. An inner hallway provides two large built-in storage cupboards, giving the flat excellent storage.
To the rear is a particularly generous 13'3" x 10'0" double bedroom with a pretty bay window overlooking the garden, alongside a stylish, fully tiled modern bathroom.
Outside, the private south-east-facing rear garden is a major selling point, with mature planting, seating space and direct access from the kitchen/diner.
The property has been extensively improved and is finished to a high standard throughout, with modern double glazing, a modern gas combi boiler, rewiring, plastering and new flooring among the works completed.
The lease has approximately 147 years remaining, with no ground rent and a service charge of just £635 per annum.
Conveniently positioned within walking distance of Southend city centre, the seafront and mainline stations, with residents' permit parking available locally.
