Description

Guide Price £900,000 - £1,000,000Positioned at the highly regarded Chalkwell end of the seafront, the location is as effortless as it is enviable. Chalkwell Station is just a 4-minute walk away with direct services into London Fenchurch Street, while Leigh Broadway is within easy reach for its celebrated mix of boutiques, cafés, bars and restaurants.

Offered to the market for the first time in almost four decades, this outstanding top floor 1930s Art Deco apartment is a home of genuine rarity. Held within the same family for 39 years, it has been thoughtfully refurbished to preserve its original elegance while introducing the level of finish and comfort expected of a modern coastal lifestyle.

A winding oak staircase rises to an extraordinary architectural feature, a stained glass roof turret that feels more like a statement piece than a detail, bathing the upper level in shifting natural light and reinforcing the apartment’s Art Deco heritage.

Beyond, the roof terrace delivers a true wow factor, extending to both the front and rear and providing a remarkable setting for hosting, relaxing, and taking in sweeping panoramic outlooks.

The centrepiece is the exceptional open plan living space, where lofty ceilings and expansive glazing draw your eye straight to the uninterrupted estuary views.

Kitchen, dining and lounge areas flow seamlessly together, with bi-fold doors opening onto a private balcony, perfectly placed for morning coffee, sunset drinks, and effortless entertaining.

Three genuine double bedrooms create generous, flexible accommodation, complemented by a stylish En-suite to the principal bedroom, offering a calm and private retreat.

The apartment has been comprehensively improved, including new windows and front door, a re-rendered exterior, a newly tiled balcony, porcelain flooring to the living area, a newly fitted Art Deco-style shower room, plus modernised plumbing and electrics.

Outside, off-street parking is available for one vehicle, with additional permits available for seafront parking.

A home with this level of character, scale and setting seldom comes to market. For those seeking a statement coastal apartment that pairs period glamour with modern ease, this is an opportunity to secure something genuinely special.
