Well-presented one-bedroom flat with private garden and long lease, minutes from Essex Road..
Long lease: over 100 years remaining
Situated on a favoured floor of a small purpose-built block, this naturally bright one-bedroom flat offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer. The generous reception room, separate fitted kitchen and double bedroom give a feeling of space within a compact 438 sq ft layout, and built-in storage helps keep clutter minimal. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, and comes with vacant possession and a long lease of over 100 years.
Outside, a demised garden is a rare plus for a flat in this area, providing private outdoor space for potted plants or a small seating area. Essex Road station and its shops, cafés and amenities are within walking distance, making this a convenient base for commuting into the City. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the flat sits in an area classed as very deprived and with average local crime; check local data and walk the neighbourhood to assess suitability. The building’s solid-brick walls were originally uninsulated, so heating bills may be higher than newer stock despite double glazing. The property is offered without tested services—buyers must verify boiler, appliances and wiring as part of their due diligence.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer wanting a compact London home with outdoor space, or an investor seeking a well-presented, easily managed rental. Its long lease and central location are strong positives; factor in the small overall size and potential insulation improvements when budgeting.
