Features and description

  • A one-bedroom, second-floor apartment that reads like a short, elegant story.
  • Wide windows framing sky and a distant seam of sea, bringing the coast into every room.
  • Natural light that moves through the rooms like a ladder, animating surfaces and books.
  • A broad, welcoming hallway that feels generous and sets a calm, measured pace.
  • A living room that basks in daylight and treats the changing sea view as living decor.
  • A practical, well-proportioned kitchen with integrated appliances and uncluttered work surfaces.
  • Located in Leigh-on-Sea’s vibrant heart, within easy reach of cafés, shops, the seafront and transport links.

A breath of coastal air this one-bedroom, second-floor apartment in the heart of Leigh-on-Sea unfolds like a short, elegant novel. Each room is a new paragraph, each window a line of verse, and the whole place reads as a quiet meditation on light, view and daily comfort.

Step across the threshold and you enter a scene arranged for small, repeated pleasures. Perched on the second floor, the apartment listens to the town’s gentle rhythm—cafés beginning their day, soft conversations on the pavement, the occasional gull calling from the estuary—and translates it into background music for everyday life. From almost every window the vista reaches toward Southend’s shimmering coastline, a reminder of tides, late afternoons and the easy presence of the sea.

A broad, welcoming hallway sets the tone like an opening chapter, generous enough to store coats and parcels yet spare enough to feel like an invitation. The living room basks in generous daylight that makes furniture glow and books seem to lean toward the sun. The view becomes part of the room’s fabric, shifting with weather and hour, providing a moving picture that never grows routine.

Guide price £185,000 to £225,000

The kitchen is practical, well-proportioned and quietly appointed for everyday use and occasional entertaining. Integrated appliances and thoughtful work surfaces put everything within reach and keep the composition uncluttered. The layout encourages easy meal-making—quick breakfasts before the day begins or intimate dinners after a walk by the water.

The bedroom is a calm, roomy retreat where space for a double bed, storage and a dressing area preserves a sense of order and rest. Windows frame a distant shimmer of sea so mornings arrive with light and a gentle horizon. The bathroom is tidy and functional, consistent with the apartment’s understated and refined character.

Natural light runs through this home like a unifying theme, animating surfaces and connecting one room to the next. Partial sea glimpses, treetops and the streets of Leigh-on-Sea form a changing tableau that feels both cinematic and intimate. The apartment’s voice is restrained and confident: a place designed for living well, quietly and fully.
