Leigh-on-Sea, Storbritannia

We live in Leigh-on-Sea, a small town where London’s River Thames becomes the sea! Leigh is famous for its cockles and proximity to Southend-on-Sea, a popular seaside retreat for Londoners.
From our house it’s a five minute walk to the modern town centre with many bars, cafes, restaurants and independent shops. It’s also a five minute walk to the river front path that will take you to the old town of Leigh-on-Sea, still an active fishing port and a hub for pubs and other hospitality venues. There’s a small popular beach here and another a similar distance away down river at Chalkwell.
Our home is comfortable and spacious with sea views from many of the rooms. We have a large kitchen/family area and a lounge on the ground floor. The next floor up has 2 large bedrooms (each with a king size bed), a shower room with basin and WC, and a larger family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. The top floor has recently (2025) been converted to a master bedroom suite. This consists of a large bedroom area with super king bed and panoramic views of the tidal Thames Estuary. There’s also a balcony to make the best of the spectacular views. Up here there’s also a dressing room area, en suite shower/WC and an cosy TV snug with 65” TV with all streaming services.
Outside there’s a small neat garden with seating and a gas barbecue.
There’s lots to do locally including Southend’s two theatres (The Cliffs Pavilion and Palace Theatre) with top acts and west end shows. London is in easy reach with a frequent train service from Chalkwell Station (10 minute walk) getting you to the city in under an hour.
