Summary - Flat 4, 222-228 MAYBANK ROAD, SOUTH WOODFORD E18 1FG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright modern 1-bed flat with terrace and long lease, 15-minute walk to South Woodford station.
Chain free ground-floor 1-bed with private terrace
A bright, chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with a private terrace, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance London pied-à-terre. The open-plan living area features a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and standard ceiling heights that keep the space airy despite its compact footprint. The double bedroom includes a large fitted wardrobe and direct access/overlook to the terrace.
Practicalities are straightforward: a very long lease of 995 years, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, on-street parking and secure video intercom for the building. Commuters will find South Woodford station within a 15-minute walk (about 20 minutes to Liverpool Street by train), with the A12, M11 and A406 nearby for drivers. Local amenities and George Lane’s shops, cafés and restaurants are within walking distance, and green space such as Epping Forest and Roding Valley Park are easily reached.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the apartment is small at about 355 sq ft, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and parking is on-street (no allocated space). Service charges average £1,100 and ground rent is listed at £10 (information incomplete). The flat is leasehold, though the 995-year term provides long-term security. Overall this is a compact, low-maintenance home with sensible running costs and good transport links, best suited to someone prioritising location and convenience over generous internal space.
