This second-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Walthamstow E17 offers modern, compact city living with a private balcony and integrated kitchen appliances. The open-plan lounge and kitchen are bright, practical and finished to a contemporary standard — suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance urban home.
Practical details are favourable: a long lease (239 years) and fast broadband/mobile signal. Nearby Walthamstow Central provides excellent transport links (Victoria line and Overground), while local parks and amenities give convenient outdoor and shopping options.
Be aware of material negatives: the area records very high crime rates and local deprivation indicators. Annual service charge and ground rent are notable (approx. £2,159.78 and £374.85 respectively). The flat is a compact/average-sized unit (553 sq ft) and suits buyers comfortable with apartment living rather than larger family homes.
Overall this is a straightforward, move-in-ready modern apartment with transport and amenity strengths, clear ownership terms and predictable running costs. It should appeal to first-time buyers and investors who prioritise connectivity and contemporary finish over space and a low-crime neighbourhood.
