Set on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Dawlish Road, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers generous space and a large private rear garden — a rare find for a flat. The open-plan lounge/kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms and loft provide a blank canvas for a first-time buyer to personalise. Double glazing was installed after 2002, and broadband and mobile signals are strong for modern living.
The property requires full modernisation: heating is by electric room heaters and the building is solid brick with no assumed wall insulation, so upgrading heating and insulation will be sensible early costs. Room layouts are practical and total space is around 779 sq ft, making this an attractive refurbishment project for someone planning long-term comfort or capital improvement.
Location is a clear strength. Leyton Midland Station is about 0.4 miles away, Leyton Station under a mile, and major roads (A406, A12, M11) are easily accessible. Francis Road and the nearby high street offer shops, cafes, schools and local amenities. Council tax is cheap and there is no flooding risk.
Be realistic about safety: the area records very high crime levels, so buyers should factor security upgrades into any refurbishment plan. Tenure is freehold (share of freehold stated), which is uncommon for flats and simplifies ownership. For a hands-on first-time buyer ready to renovate, this flat combines space, outdoor garden and solid investment potential in a well-connected neighbourhood.
