Ambleside Drive, Southend-On-Sea, SS1

Situated within a well-maintained period building in a highly convenient Southend location, this well-presented one-bedroom ground floor apartment offers spacious accommodation, direct garden access and the rare benefit of its own private entrance, giving the property a feel far more comparable to a bungalow than a typical flat.

Offered with no onward chain and ready to move straight into, this is an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers or anyone seeking low-maintenance living in a prime walk-to-everything location.

One of the standout features is the flexible access. The property benefits from its own private side/rear entrance leading directly into the lounge, alongside an additional entrance via the communal hallway to the front. This private external access creates a far more independent feel than most apartments.

Internally, the property offers a bright and airy lounge/diner overlooking the attractive south-facing communal garden, which due to the layout and direct access feels almost like your own private outdoor space. The garden provides an ideal area for sitting out in the sun, drying clothes and enjoying the outside space rarely found with apartments of this type.

A particularly impressive feature is the generous 22'6 hallway, creating excellent flow throughout the property and leading to a modern fitted kitchen, a well-maintained three-piece shower room and a spacious double bedroom.

Further benefits include double glazing, gas central heating via a modern combi boiler, entry phone system and allocated parking to the front, alongside unrestricted free on-street parking nearby.

The property is also extremely well positioned from a leasehold perspective, benefiting from approximately 148 years remaining on the lease, a fixed ground rent of just £50 per annum and a professionally managed service charge of approximately £1,250 per year, which includes buildings insurance, communal cleaning, garden maintenance and general upkeep of the building.

The current owner also holds a valid Gas Safety Certificate and a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report, offering additional reassurance for buyers.

The location is a major draw and genuinely ideal for those wanting a lifestyle centred around convenience and connectivity.
