This ground-floor period apartment on Cambridge Road offers generous living space and genuine character in Wanstead’s sought-after catchment. The flat benefits from original features — sash windows, exposed floorboards and a marble fireplace — alongside a large lounge/diner and two double bedrooms, one with French doors to the garden. A substantial basement provides rare, secure storage for bikes and household items.
Outside, a private south/westerly rear garden and a front driveway with off-street parking add practical lifestyle value for families and commuters. The property is chain free and set within easy walking distance of Wanstead, Snaresbrook and Leytonstone stations, placing Central Line links and local high streets within comfortable reach. Nearby schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding primaries.
Practical considerations are clear: the flat is leasehold with 84 years remaining on a 125-year lease, and a small ground rent of £75 per annum — the short lease will need early renewal action and could affect mortgage options and costs. The kitchen and shower room offer good scope for modernisation, which presents a chance to add value but will require investment. EPC D68 and council tax band C are noted.
Overall, this apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking period character with outside space and storage, or investors targeting strong local rental demand. Buyers should factor in lease extension costs and a modest refurbishment budget to realise the property’s full potential.
