This property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable location, just moments from the High Street, railway stations, and the seafront. Currently vacant, this freehold house offers four bedrooms and three reception areas, making it a versatile space with considerable potential for transformation.
The layout includes a spacious lounge and dining room, as well as a morning room that could serve various purposes. A ground-floor fifth bedroom/reception adds flexibility to the living space. The property also features a kitchen, bathroom, separate WC, and a large cellar that could be repurposed for additional storage or living area.
Significantly, the property has already received lawful permission to convert into a six-bedroom house in multiple occupation (HMO). Plans are also in place for an L-shaped dormer extension that would allow for an impressive transformation into an eight-bedroom property with ensuite facilities. Such modifications present substantial investment potential for rental income or resale value enhancement.
Notably, essential renovations have already been addressed; the roof and guttering were replaced in April 2025. The current footprint allows for a solid configuration as a six-bedroom HMO without requiring further alterations immediately, providing immediate cash flow opportunities while new owners explore their development options.
Additionally, the property's location is enhanced by easy access to transport links and local amenities. As part of an area subject to Southend on Sea City Council’s Selective Licensing Scheme, prospective buyers should familiarize themselves with licensing requirements which could influence their renovation plans.
This property stands out not only for its existing features but also for its renovation possibilities in a thriving community setting.
