This recently refurbished two-bedroom ground-floor apartment combines modern finishes with a private garden — ready to move into for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open, contemporary reception and high-spec kitchen make efficient use of the 721 sq ft footprint, while the main bedroom has direct garden access for outdoor space that’s rare at this price point.
Practical running costs are attractive: 107 years remain on the lease, a modest service charge of £175, low ground rent (£50) and cheap council tax. The home has gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, double glazing, and fast broadband and mobile signal — convenient for daily commuting or working from home.
Location is a strong selling point for commuters and families: Upton Park station and numerous bus links provide fast journeys into central London (around 15 minutes). Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, and nearby parks offer green space for children.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly. The neighbourhood records high crime rates and sits in a relatively deprived area, which may affect insurance, security costs and resale timing. The building dates from 1950–66 and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no added insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than modern builds. The double glazing installation date is unknown. These factors are worth factoring into running-cost estimates and any long-term plans.
