St. Helens Road, Westcliff-On-Sea, SS0 7LE

GUIDE PRICE £190,000 to £200,000 Situated on a highly regarded residential road just moments from the vast amenities, eateries and transport links of Hamlet Court Road, this charming two-bedroom first floor period flat offers generous proportions, high ceilings and exceptional convenience. Westcliff station is within easy walking distance, while Southend Town Centre and Leigh Broadway are both just a five-minute drive away. Set within an attractive and well-maintained period building, the property benefits from residents’ permit parking and impressive kerb appeal. The communal areas and exterior are in very good condition, reflecting the care and attention of the freeholder. Inside, a roomy landing provides access to all rooms as well as a loft space, ideal for additional storage. The standout feature is the impressive double bay-fronted lounge/diner - a wonderfully bright and spacious room with high ceilings and ample space for both relaxing and dining. There is also more than enough room to comfortably create a dedicated work-from-home area without compromising on living space. Both bedrooms are generous doubles and will comfortably accommodate king-size bedroom furniture, making this a genuine two-double-bedroom property - something not always found locally. The bathroom, while not ultra-modern, is well maintained and features a four-piece suite including a corner bath and separate shower cubicle, offering practicality and space. The kitchen is compact yet well equipped, with space for appliances and housing a modern combination boiler approximately six years old. For buyers looking to add value in the future, there is scope to reconfigure the layout -for example, by relocating the kitchen into the current bathroom space to create a larger kitchen area (subject to any necessary consents). Another significant selling point is the extremely low outgoings. There are no service charges - simply a 50% contribution towards any maintenance works as and when required. The freeholder is a private individual who takes pride in maintaining the building, rather than a management company driven by profit. Ground rent is fixed at just £100 per year, and you pay half of the buildings insurance, which the freeholder arranges. Offering more square footage than many comparable two-bedroom flats in the area, this is a well-presented and spacious period home in an exceptionally convenient location. If you are looking for a charming flat with generous room sizes, low running costs and outstanding access to amenities and transport links, this represents a fantastic opportunity.
