Stylish High-Spec Ground Floor Apartment | Share of Freehold | 995-Year Lease | Secure Gated Parking | No Chain

Beautifully renovated within the last two years and finished to an excellent standard throughout, this stylish one-bedroom ground floor apartment offers an increasingly rare combination of a share of the freehold, an exceptionally long 995-year lease, secure allocated parking and a peaceful setting, all within just a short walk of Southend City Centre and both mainline railway stations.

Positioned within the highly regarded Napier Court West, the apartment enjoys one of the quieter positions within the development, with the front and side overlooking the grounds rather than the railway line at the rear, creating a noticeably more peaceful environment whilst still benefiting from one of the most convenient locations in the city.

Offered with no onward chain, the property is immediately available and would make an outstanding first-time purchase, commuter home or downsizer's apartment, particularly as there are no stairs to navigate

A secure communal entrance with entry phone system leads to a welcoming entrance hall, where the quality of the recent improvements is immediately apparent. The current owner has thoughtfully modernised the apartment throughout, creating a contemporary, low-maintenance home with high-quality fixtures and fittings.

The impressive dual-aspect lounge/diner is one of the standout rooms, flooded with natural light and offer ample living and entertainment space. There is ample space for both lounge and dining furniture, while a ceiling fan provides additional comfort during the warmer months.

An excellent feature, rarely found in apartments of this size, is the generous walk-in storage cupboard accessed directly from the lounge, providing exceptional storage for clothing, luggage, household items or bulky possessions.

The stylish fitted kitchen has also been upgraded and offers extensive worktop space together with room for a tall fridge/freezer, plumbing for a dishwasher, a contemporary oven and hob and a designer extractor fan.

The generous double bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed together with wardrobes and additional furniture, while also benefiting from a ceiling fan to enhance year-round comfort.

Completing the accommodation is a beautifully appointed shower room, refurbished within the last two years and fitted with a large walk-in rainfall shower, contemporary fittings, tiled flooring and predominantly tiled walls.

The owner has invested significantly in improving the apartment's energy efficiency, installing modern slimline electric radiators together with additional infrared heating panels, providing an economical and highly effective heating solution. High-quality LED lighting has also been installed throughout the apartment, while fibre broadband connectivity is available for those working from home or requiring fast internet speeds.

Outside, residents benefit from secure gated allocated parking, two beautifully maintained communal gardens and a well-kept development that is owned and managed by the leaseholders themselves through the share of freehold arrangement.

The service charge is approximately £1,400 per annum and represents excellent value, covering buildings insurance, water and sewage charges, lift maintenance, communal cleaning, grounds maintenance, landscaping, caretaker services and maintenance of the secure gated parking area.

The location is simply superb. Napier Court West offers the perfect balance between convenience and tranquillity. Southend High Street, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, leisure facilities and the seafront are all within comfortable walking distance, whilst both Southend Central Station (London Fenchurch Street) and Southend Victoria Station(London Liverpool Street) are easily reached on foot, making this an ideal choice for commuters.

Offering one of the larger one-bedroom layouts within the development, together with a share of the freehold, an exceptionally long lease, secure parking, excellent storage and a high-quality finish throughout, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a turnkey apartment in one of Southend's most convenient locations.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
