Description
Guide Price £170,000 to £180,000 Blackshaw Homes are thrilled to bring to market this beautifully presented, characterful one-bedroom first-floor flat, enviably located on Milton Street – a truly convenient spot on the edge of Southend town centre. This prime position means you're just a short stroll from an abundance of shops, amenities, and excellent transport links, including both Southend Victoria and Southend Central mainline stations, offering swift connections to London. The property itself resides within a well-maintained period building and boasts a long lease of 119 years, providing peace of mind for years to come.
Upon entering, you'll discover a flat brimming with charm and generous proportions. The spacious landing leads to a bay-fronted reception room at the front, offering a bright and inviting space. The property also features a comfortable double bedroom, a lovely three-piece bathroom that was fitted within the last few years, and a modern eat-in kitchen conveniently situated at the rear, overlooking the private garden. A rare and significant advantage of this flat is the ownership of the loft space, a feature seldom found with flats, which also comes with the exciting potential for a loft conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Outside, residents benefit from a well-looked-after communal front garden. To the rear, a significant selling point is the private west-facing garden, a fantastic space to relax and entertain, complete with a patio and lawn area, plus additional storage. This garden offers direct views from the kitchen, and crucially, there is freeholder permission to install an external staircase for direct garden access. For those seeking off-road parking, there's also the versatile option to revert the garden back to its original use as a parking space, as the dropped kerb is already in place, offering exceptional flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Residents' permit parking is available on Milton Street for a small yearly fee to the council.
