This two-bedroom ground-floor conversion occupies the rear of a Victorian terrace and offers private outdoor space and dedicated off-street parking — an uncommon find at this price. The 143-year lease gives long-term security and the flat’s location places Valentines Park, Ilford town centre and Crossrail connections within easy reach, ideal for commuters and first-time buyers.
Internally the apartment is compact at about 580 sq ft, with a modern-feel living room, fitted kitchen and one bathroom. High ceilings in parts of the building and period bay-window architecture add character; some rooms have lower ceilings and the layout suits buyers seeking efficient, city-edge living rather than expansive space.
Key advantages include a private rear garden, gated driveway, gas central heating and fast broadband/mobile signal. Notable drawbacks: the property is built of solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, double-glazing install date is unknown, and the immediate area records higher crime levels. The flat will reward modest updating and basic insulation work to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Priced to reflect its size and condition, this apartment is appropriate for first-time buyers wanting an entry on to the property ladder or investors seeking a rental near strong transport links. Viewings will best suit buyers who prioritise location, outdoor space and long lease length over generous internal floor area.
