This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a Victorian terrace delivers a rare city advantage: a private rear garden (approx 26'10" x 11'9") that significantly increases usable space for relaxing or entertaining. The flat feels larger than its 489 sq ft because of high ceilings, tall windows and a generous reception room, giving bright, airy living in an established East London neighbourhood close to Victoria Park and Broadway Market.
The layout is traditional and practical: separate fitted kitchen, a spacious double bedroom with garden outlook, and a modern bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and a long lease (approx. 105 years). Annual charges are modest: service charge £561.41 and ground rent £100 per year.
Location and transport are strong selling points. Bow Road station and several bus routes put the City and West End within easy reach. Local day-to-day amenities and a broad range of shops, cafés and schools are close by, making the flat suitable for first-time buyers, professionals and buy-to-let investors seeking steady demand.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area with higher crime and measurable deprivation—buyers should factor neighbourhood safety and local context into their decision. The building's solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation (as-built), so heating costs could be higher than modern standards unless insulation improvements are made. Double glazing install date is unknown, and as a leasehold flat buyers should confirm all lease and management details before committing.
