Oakheart Property says ..

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a ground floor apartment in a prime beachfront location, boasting panoramic and truly breathtaking views across the Blackwater Estuary. This two double bedroom property offers a front-row seat to the ever-changing coastal landscape and has enormous potential ...

Property Oracle says ..

The property is a 2-bedroom flat located in a desirable coastal location with views of the water. The flat is part of a larger building with shared grounds. The images show a property that appears well-maintained, although the kitchen and bathroom fixtures appear dated, suggesting a possible need for modernisation rather than extensive renovation. The property benefits from a good-sized lawn area, although the plot size is recorded as 0.00 sqft. This discrepancy needs clarification. The average house price in the area is £348,914, with an average price per sqft of £356. This property is listed at £375,000 with 708.48 sqft, resulting in a price per sqft significantly higher than the average. However, the premium could be justified by the desirable coastal location and views, provided the discrepancy in plot size is clarified. The nearby property prices vary considerably, ranging from £43,000 to £850,000, indicating a wide range of property types and values in the area. The proximity to Mersea Island School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) is a positive factor for families. Considering the factors above, the property presents a mixed picture. The location is strong, offering a desirable coastal lifestyle. The condition is good, although some modernisation is likely needed. The land available is limited to the shared communal lawn, although the plot size needs further investigation. The price is above the average price per sqft, but considering the location and views, it might be considered reasonable depending on the actual plot size and the extent of any required modernisation.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
