Holland Road, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, SS0 7TE

SEA VIEWS, SANDY BEACH MOMENTS AWAY & SPECTACULAR SUNSETS | STEP-FREE LIVING Ideal as a permanent home or a secure, lock-up-and-leave seaside retreat for buyers over 60, including couples where one partner is over 60 and the other over 55. Just moments from Westcliff's sandy beach and seafront promenade, with easy access via the nearby side entrance and beautiful coastal walks towards historic Old Leigh, with its waterfront cafés, traditional pubs and seafood stalls. This bright one-bedroom apartment has a rather clever combination: level, ground-floor access from the car park, but elevated sea views from every window, thanks to Homecove House’s position above the promenade. The flat faces west, so it’s exceptionally bright, flooded with afternoon and evening light, with fabulous views across the promenade and beach — perfect for watching the changing skies or simply the world go by. Inside, everything is clean, modern and genuinely ready to move straight into. The kitchen and shower room have already been updated, and the flat has been freshly redecorated throughout using premium Lakeland Paints Feng Shui zero-VOC washable paint. The lounge looks across the beautifully maintained mature communal gardens towards the sea, with plenty of room for sitting and dining while enjoying the view. The modern kitchen is compact but really well designed for storage and everyday use, with plenty of cabinetry, a carousel corner cupboard, storage above the fridge, integrated separate waste and recycling bins and a new hob. Even the washing-up comes with a sea view. The generous double bedroom also overlooks the sea and has floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes with internal shelving, while a further large shelved cupboard gives unusually good storage for a one-bedroom flat. The modern shower room has a large walk-in tiled shower, heated towel rail, generous mirrored storage cabinet and further useful cupboard space below. The apartment sits near the end of a quiet corridor, with very little passing foot traffic. From the residents’ car park there is a simple level, step-free walk straight to the apartment. There’s also a particularly useful side entrance close to the flat, making it easy to nip straight out towards the seafront, cafés and restaurants without going through the main communal entrance. The mature communal gardens have plenty of tables and seating — ideal for breakfast outside, lunch in the sunshine, reading with a coffee or dinner on a warm evening. All the pleasure of a garden without the maintenance. Residents also have use of lounges, a library, hobby room, pool/snooker room and guest accommodation, with house managers within the development and an emergency call system in every room. Step outside and you’re straight onto Westcliff seafront, with cafés, restaurants and Rossi’s ice cream close by. Westcliff station is around five minutes’ walk, with direct trains to London Fenchurch Street, while Southend also has a separate London service from Southend Victoria to Liverpool Street. Hamlet Court Road, Sainsbury’s and independent shops and cafés are also close by. For culture, the Cliffs Pavilion is around five minutes away on foot for major touring theatre, live music and comedy, while the Edwardian Palace Theatre and Dixon Studio offer further theatre, music and smaller performances. Head west and you’re soon in Leigh-on-Sea and Old Leigh; head inland and there are parks, woodland and the surrounding Essex countryside.

The apartment is vacant, ready to move into and offered with no onward chain. • floor area: 41 m² / 441 sq ft • communal gardens • level access from the car park • combined service charge and ground rent about £524 a month
