Overview

About 8 St James Gardens

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 St James Gardens is a two-bedroom detached house in Westcliff On Sea (SS0 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
