1 bed flat for sale

Stromness Road, Southend-On-Sea SS2

50% share of freehold | private landscaped front garden | approx. 160-year lease | huge kitchen/breakfast room | large loft

A larger-than-average one-bedroom character flat on Stromness Road, offering something increasingly difficult to find – generous accommodation, its own landscaped front garden, exceptional storage and remarkably low ongoing costs.

The property benefits from a 50% share of the freehold, approximately 160-year lease and no ground rent or service charge, with only around £300 per year currently payable towards its 50% share of the building insurance.

Outside, the private landscaped front garden gives the flat valuable outdoor space of its own, while also providing a convenient and discreet area for wheelie-bin storage.

Inside, the amount of space continues with a generous first-floor landing offering useful wardrobe and storage space, together with access to a huge part-boarded loft with power and lighting – an exceptional bonus seldom found with a flat.

To the front is an impressive 4.90m x 3.20m bay-fronted lounge/diner, comfortably large enough to create separate living and dining areas.

The double bedroom measures approximately 3.42m x 3.11m, providing plenty of space for wardrobes and additional furniture, while the modern part-tiled bathroom features a three-piece suite with shower over the bath.

Another major highlight is the 4.19m x 3.10m dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room. Far larger than typically expected in a one-bedroom flat, it provides extensive cupboard and worktop space, fitted storage, gas hob, comfort-height fitted oven and space for appliances, while still comfortably accommodating a table and chairs.

Stromness Road is ideally positioned for everyday convenience, with Southend’s mainline stations within walking distance and the extensive shops, cafés and amenities of Southchurch Road close by, leading towards the High Street and city centre.

For buyers comparing one-bedroom flats, this one has some significant advantages: Its own landscaped garden, 50% share of freehold, approximately 160-year lease, no ground rent or service charge, unusually generous rooms and a huge loft
