A characterful ground-floor maisonette on a quiet no-through road in South Woodford, ideal for commuters and young families seeking period charm with practical updates. High ceilings, an original fireplace and decorative mouldings give the principal reception a classic feel, while a modern kitchen and fully tiled four-piece bathroom provide contemporary comfort. The layout includes two double bedrooms, useful storage, a utility room and a pantry, arranged over an efficient linear plan.
Outside, residents benefit from a large, well-kept communal garden and easy on-street parking (no permit required). South Woodford Central Line is a short walk away, with George Lane’s shops, cafés and supermarkets nearby. Roding Valley Park and well-regarded local schools add lifestyle appeal for families.
Practical strengths include a long lease (circa 121 years) and very low ground rent (£50 PA). The building is solid brick with double glazing and mains gas central heating. Council tax and broadband are affordable and fast respectively.
Honest considerations: the property shows signs of age that may need attention — some areas need modernisation and there are mentions of damp in parts. The construction is solid brick with assumed no added wall insulation, which could mean higher heating costs until upgraded. As a leasehold ground-floor flat, communal maintenance and lease terms should be checked before purchase.
