A bright, recently renovated raised-ground Victorian conversion offering 578 sq ft of well-planned living space. The reception room’s high ceilings and bay window preserve period character while contemporary finishes extend through the kitchen and bathroom. The apartment benefits from a private, south-facing garden of substantial depth with a detached garden studio that works well as a home office or hobby room.
This home suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking immediate move-in condition with rare outdoor space for the area. Forest Gate Station (Elizabeth Line) is a short walk away, giving quick links into central London and Canary Wharf. Local green spaces including Wanstead Flats are close by, and several highly rated primary and secondary schools sit within easy reach.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining), with low ground rent and modest council tax. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a mains gas central system, and the building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation — factors to consider for running costs and any future upgrades. The local area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime is high, so check neighbourhood suitability in person.
Overall, this is a compact urban home that combines period charm, recent refurbishment and unusually generous private outdoor space for the price bracket. It will appeal to buyers wanting an immediately habitable flat with potential to personalise and to investors seeking lettable stock close to excellent transport links.
