York Road, Southend-On-Sea, SS1

Discover a property with immense potential in this two-bedroom first-floor maisonette, occupying a prominent corner position on Leamington Road within a 1930s period building. While this home presents an opportunity for some updates, it offers an array of sought-after features that make it an exceptional prospect for those seeking to create their ideal living space and add significant value.

Firstly, this property comes with the highly advantageous share of freehold. This means no ground rent, no high service charges, and no concerns about costly lease extensions – you will be a joint owner of the building with the downstairs resident, who is owner-occupied. Secondly, privacy is assured with its own front door directly from Leamington Road, eliminating the need for a shared communal entrance. Thirdly, the property benefits from off-road parking to the rear and its own section of garden.

Fourthly, the location is excellent. Situated at the top end of York Road, away from the bustling high street, you are moments from Southchurch Hall Gardens, a lovely park featuring an ornamental lake. The property is also within walking distance of mainline stations for convenient links to London, seafront beaches, and a Lidl supermarket. Fifthly, a significant bonus is that the flat includes the loft space, offering substantial potential for a loft conversion should you require additional living area. The property also benefits from ownership of half of the front garden.

Sixthly, enjoy sea views from both the kitchen and a bedroom, adding a desirable coastal charm. The flat itself boasts its own private entrance hall with stairs leading to a spacious first-floor landing. This landing provides access to all rooms, including the kitchen and bathroom, creating a very functional layout. The property is predominantly double-glazed, with a few windows remaining single-glazed. While the flat is currently well-maintained and certainly liveable, it offers a fantastic opportunity for improvements, allowing a new owner to personalise and enhance it to their taste.

Please note that the exterior currently appears a little tired and would benefit from painting and a new front door. We are in the process of obtaining a quote for external redecoration, which will be available upon request. If you are seeking a property with generous space, parking, a private garden, desirable views, the valuable share of freehold, and considerable scope to improve and add value, then this maisonette is an ideal choice. It is available with no onward chain.
