Compact, well-located starter home with green views and strong transport links.
Second-floor one-bedroom, compact 430 sq ft layout
A bright, second-floor one-bedroom flat in Wanstead, set within a well-kept 1980s development and overlooking mature greenery. The open-plan living area with a tucked-away modern kitchen makes efficient use of the compact 430 sq ft layout, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance London home with easy commuting options.
Practical running costs and considerations are clear: the property uses electric storage heaters with electricity as the main fuel, and the lease has 83 years remaining. Service charge is approximately £1,750 a year; prospective buyers should factor these into affordability calculations and review the lease details before committing.
The location is a major strength — peaceful slip-road setting, short walks to Wanstead Park, Leytonstone High Road and Wanstead Central Line stations (around 0.8 miles). Local amenities, bus routes and highly regarded schools nearby support everyday life and future resale appeal.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor who values a quiet, well-connected base and is comfortable with a compact footprint and electric heating. It offers straightforward, immediate occupation with potential to personalise interiors; major structural issues and flood risk are not indicated, though buyers should carry out usual surveys and lease checks.
