Set within a converted Victorian mill on the River Lee, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment pairs period character with a modern open-plan layout. The living area overlooks attractive communal gardens and the river, while a fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom keep the interior move-in ready. Two allocated parking spaces (one undercover) and gated access to the towpath add strong lifestyle appeal for commuters and leisure walkers.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with an extended 189-year term, no ground rent and a service charge of about £2,880 per year. Heating is by electric storage/panel heaters and broadband speeds are reported as slow — worth factoring into running costs and connectivity needs. The apartment is an average-sized 662 sq ft with a single bathroom, so it suits buyers seeking a manageable home rather than large-family accommodation.
This location works well for first-time buyers or couples commuting to London: St Margaret’s (Stanstead Abbotts) station and the village high street are within easy walking distance, and the surrounding Lea Valley countryside provides riverside walks and nature reserves. The very affluent local area, low crime and good primary schools add further reassurance.
Overall this is a well-presented riverside home offering strong commuter convenience, outdoor appeal and low flood risk — with modest running-cost and connectivity considerations to note.
