Description

Home Estate Agents are pleased to present this substantial four-bedroom seafront residence located on the prestigious Cliff Parade. This property offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Estuary, a garage, and gardens both at the front and rear, representing an exceptional opportunity to create a remarkable coastal home. Properties on Cliff Parade are rarely available, making this a unique chance for buyers looking to personalize a special property with potential for reconfiguration or extension, subject to planning permission. The accommodation is spread over two floors, providing excellent flexibility. The principal reception room features a large box bay window that frames stunning views across the Thames Estuary. A second bay-fronted room on the first floor offers the same incredible outlook and could serve as either an additional lounge or a magnificent principal bedroom. A third reception room at the rear adds further versatility, functioning as a dining room or ground floor bedroom with direct access to the garden. The kitchen, along with a ground floor WC, separate first floor bathroom, and an additional upstairs WC, forms a solid foundation for comprehensive renovation, allowing the next owner to modernize according to their specifications. Externally, the property boasts an attractive front garden and a private rear garden with mature planting, alongside a side return and a detached garage at the rear. The location is exceptional, situated directly opposite the seafront and within walking distance of Chalkwell Station, which offers direct services into London Fenchurch Street. Leigh Broadway's renowned cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and bars are just moments away, while Old Leigh's historic waterfront and coastal walks enhance the outstanding lifestyle on offer.

30out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial seafront residence on Cliff Parade presents a unique opportunity to acquire a property with breathtaking panoramic views of the Thames Estuary. While the overall condition is dated and requires significant refurbishment, the generous proportions and flexible layout offer a blank canvas for buyers to modernise and reconfigure spaces to their liking. The living areas, kitchen, and bathrooms are all in need of updating, but this allows for a creative renovation project that could truly enhance the property's value.

However, the asking price of £899,950 translates to £653/sqf, which is considerably above the local average of £439/sqf, making it a dear proposition in this market. Coupled with the estimated renovation costs of £100,000 to £200,000, the all-in costs stretch beyond local benchmarks, which may limit the potential for a strong return on investment. Given the current economic landscape, buyers should carefully consider the financial implications before proceeding, as the margin versus local averages is notably negative.

Key opportunities

  • Exceptional sea views that can be capitalised on with modern design.
  • Flexible layout allows for room reconfiguration to suit personal needs.
  • Attractive garden space which could enhance outdoor living.

Key risks

  • The asking price is significantly above local £/sqf, leading to stretched all-in costs against local benchmarks.
