This bright one‑bed apartment (509 sq ft) offers an easy first home in Leyton with a practical open‑plan layout and modern finishes. Large glazed doors and three Juliette balconies — plus a private balcony — fill the living space with light and provide outdoor access for morning coffee. The bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a distinctive floor‑to‑ceiling box window.
Commuters benefit from excellent links: Leyton Overground (0.7 miles) and Leytonstone Underground (Central line, 1.1 miles) are walkable, making Central London journeys straightforward. The property is offered chain free and sits within a lively local area with shops, parks and good primary schools nearby.
Practical running costs and tenure facts are clear: lease 113 years remaining, service charge about £2,532 per year, and ground rent £100 per year. Council tax band B is relatively low. The building is mid‑terrace, solid brick (built 1900–1929) with double glazing; full insulation history not recorded.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood and next steps. The wider area shows higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation indicators, which may affect long‑term resale or rental demand. The flat has modern cosmetic presentation but offers scope for targeted improvements (insulation, heating efficiency) to reduce running costs and increase value.
