A beautifully presented ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette occupying 693 sq ft in a characterful Victorian terrace on Lea Bridge Road. The flat combines original period features — tall windows, high ceilings and vintage floorboards — with a bright, modern kitchen/diner and private low-maintenance rear garden, making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or young couple.
The location is a strong everyday selling point: a short 10-minute walk to Lea Bridge station, quick links to Stratford and Tottenham Hale, and easy access to parks, gyms and local independent shops. The unusually generous reception and kitchen/diner make entertaining straightforward, while the garden adds welcome outdoor space in an urban setting.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold (120 years remaining) with a ground rent of £400 and sits in a high flood-risk area. The building is solid-brick Victorian with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, which could mean higher heating costs and future retrofit works. The flat’s ex-council history may affect resale perceptions and some mortgage lenders’ criteria.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful flat offering a rare combination of space, garden and transport links for the price bracket. It will suit first-time buyers who value period charm, convenience and a ready-to-live-in home, and who are comfortable assessing flood mitigation and potential insulation upgrades.
