This chain-free, first-floor one-bedroom flat offers a roomy 611 sq ft layout with a separate fitted kitchen, generous double bedroom and bright bay-windowed reception room. The property has its own private entrance, adding privacy and a more house-like feel. With 126 years remaining on the lease and low ground rent (£30pa), the tenure is secure for buyers or landlords.
Positioned close to Francis Road and Leyton Underground Station, the flat puts independent shops, cafés, a large supermarket and good transport links within easy walking distance. Local amenities include gyms, varied eateries and convenient bus routes, making daily life straightforward. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong here.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the service charge is relatively high (£1,010pa), the EPC is D and the building’s walls are original solid brick with assumed no added insulation — older-style double glazing was fitted before 2002. The property dates from 1900–1929, so buyers should expect typical maintenance or modernization tasks rather than a move-in-new finish.
Given the size, location and long lease, the flat suits first-time buyers seeking space near transport and local life, or investors targeting consistent rental demand. The combination of roomy accommodation and a private entrance gives this property clear appeal, while renovation or energy-efficiency improvements could add value over time.
