Chain-free one-bedroom flat near Manor Park Elizabeth Line, ideal first-time purchase.
Chain free one-bedroom ground-floor garden flat, approx. 496 sq ft
A newly refurbished one-bedroom ground-floor garden flat offered chain-free with a long 124-year lease — an attractive entry point for first-time buyers. The accommodation (about 496 sq ft) includes a living room, double bedroom, kitchen/diner, bathroom and a large rear garden, providing practical indoor-outdoor living in a Victorian terrace setting.
The flat is a short walk from Manor Park station (Elizabeth Line), giving fast links into central London, and local amenities include shops, cafes and green spaces such as Wanstead Flats. Recent refurbishment means the property is ready to occupy, while high ceilings and a period bay window retain character and light.
There is realistic potential to extend to the rear — planning permission for a 3m single-storey rear/part-infill extension was previously granted in 2019 but has now expired. Buyers seeking extra space can reapply to reinstate those plans, subject to current planning policy.
Buyers should note some material points: the EPC is rated D, the property sits in an area with above-average crime and local deprivation indicators, and the original solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation. These factors may affect running costs and comfort and could require further investment to improve energy performance and security.
