This lower-ground Victorian conversion offers a bright two-bedroom home with a private southwest-facing garden and a powered outhouse, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking Stratford convenience. At 635 sq ft the layout is practical: a medium reception with bay window, a larger double bedroom, a compact second bedroom, and a long, narrow kitchen/diner benefitting from a glazed roof and garden access. The apartment is well presented with oak-engineered floors and a modern kitchen, ready to move into with minimal immediate works.
Important practical details are clear: the property is leasehold (104 years remaining) with a modest ground rent (£150) and council tax described as cheap. It sits close to Maryland Station (Elizabeth Line) and Stratford’s transport hub and amenities, giving exceptional connectivity. The powered outbuilding adds genuine flexibility for a home office, studio or storage.
Be candid about context: this address is in an inner-city, very deprived area with a high crime statistic—factors that affect resale and day-to-day living. The building is a Victorian solid-brick construction, likely without cavity insulation, so buyers should allow for potential future energy-improvement costs. The lower-ground position brings privacy and garden access but will have less street-level aspect than upper-floor flats.
Overall this is a well-presented, compact two-bedroom flat with strong transport links and outdoor space — a practical buy for a first-time purchaser wanting Stratford access, or an investor targeting rental demand near the Elizabeth Line. Buyers sensitive to local crime statistics or seeking fully insulated/modern construction should factor these points into their decision.
