Location
Shoeburyness Garrison occupies a distinguished place in the national story—its origins reach back to Roman times and Iron Age settlements, continuing through significant artillery testing during the Crimean War and beyond, making it both fascinating and historically significant
Today, the former base has been thoughtfully redeveloped into a charming, residential neighbourhood, with many original buildings—including cart and wagon sheds, barracks, and the iconic clock tower—now protected as listed heritage assets.
Against this rich historical backdrop, this home enjoys an enviable position directly overlooking open green space toward the Thames Estuary, with the distant silhouette of the iconic Southend Pier never far from view. Local landmarks include the Horseshoe Crescent Clock Tower, the traditional cricket pitch and pavilion hosting Summer fixtures for Southend-on-Sea Cricket Club, and the sprawling Gunners Park Nature Reserve—home to the “Danish Camp” Iron Age hillfort and the Shoebury Old Ranges SSSI
Practical amenities meet coastal charm here, with a convenience store, Lidl, and award-winning East Beach just a short stroll away. Excellent transport links are close by too—the C2C mainline provides direct journeys to London Fenchurch Street in around an hour. A selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, local pubs, restaurants, and open spaces enrich daily life in SS3
