Private south-easterly rear garden for outdoor use.
Allocated off-street parking space to front.

This first-floor converted flat in North Ilford offers a practical, well-lit home for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Two double bedrooms, a bright reception with large windows, and a private south-easterly garden create comfortable everyday living and usable outdoor space. An allocated front parking bay and extra storage in the cellar and loft add convenience in a busy area.
The property sits on a long lease (174 years remaining) with a low ground rent (£35) and affordable council tax, reducing running costs for new owners. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators, and the flat benefits from double glazing. Good transport links include Ilford’s Elizabeth Line and nearby Gants Hill Central Line, while Valentines Park and well-rated local schools are within easy reach.
Be upfront about the negatives: the wider area records higher crime and deprivation indicators, and the building is an early 20th-century solid-brick construction likely without cavity insulation. The EPC is D. These factors may mean higher running or retrofit costs and could influence mortgage or rental considerations for some buyers.
Overall, this property is a straightforward, well-located option for those seeking an affordable entry into Ilford’s housing market or a rental asset with useful extras (garden, parking, storage). Buyers should budget for potential improvement works (insulation, energy upgrades) and weigh local area data when deciding to view.
