This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Alders Close offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Wanstead living. The compact 385 sq ft layout is bright and modern, with a semi-open-plan kitchen/living area and allocated parking — practical for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-maintenance urban living close to green space.
Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by Wanstead Flats and woodland, the flat balances tranquillity with good transport links: Wanstead Central Line is about 0.8 miles away. The building is purpose-built (early 1990s) and has double glazing; the communal setting and available guest parking add convenience.
Buyers should note the lease has 84 years remaining and will require renewal in the near future, which can affect mortgage availability and costs. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal gas system, and the annual service charge is around £1,750. The apartment’s small internal area means space is best suited to a single person or couple rather than a family.
Overall this flat is a practical, low-upkeep purchase for someone seeking close-to-town green surroundings and straightforward access to central London. Lease planning and energy/heating considerations should be factored into purchase costs and next steps.
