This well-presented two-bedroom third-floor apartment offers a practical first home or rental opportunity close to Ilford station and the Elizabeth Line. An open-plan lounge/dining room opens onto a private balcony, giving usable outdoor space and city views. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite, while a second bathroom serves guests and household members.
The flat sits on a long lease (approximately 132 years) and was built post-2007, so many structural elements are relatively modern. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the property convenient for remote working or streaming, and the short walk to Ilford Exchange Shopping Centre, library and cinema adds everyday convenience.
Be clear about the running costs and scale: the apartment is compact at about 589 sq ft, heated by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, and carries an average service charge of about £1,500 plus a modest ground rent of £150. The wider area is classified as a multicultural, student neighbourhood with some deprivation indicators; crime is average.
For a buyer prioritising transport links, low-entry ownership and a ready-to-move-in layout, this apartment is a sensible, well-located choice. For those wanting larger rooms, gas central heating, or a quieter suburban setting, the size and urban location may feel limiting.
