Summary - 81 QUEENSWOOD GARDENS LONDON E11 3SF
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Leafy Aldersbrook maisonette with garage and long lease.
Two double bedrooms on duplex upper floor
Wrapped in greenery on the edge of Wanstead Flats, this two-bedroom duplex offers 727 sq ft of light-filled living across the second and third floors. The semi-open reception/kitchen is adaptable for dining, work or relaxation, and large double-glazed windows frame peaceful communal gardens. Two true double bedrooms upstairs suit a small family, sharers or a first home with room to grow.
Practical points are straightforward: the share-of-freehold tenure comes with an exceptionally long 945-year lease, off-street parking plus a garage, and communal grounds that give a suburban feel within the city. Broadband and mobile signal are strong; local transport includes Elizabeth and Central line connections nearby for easy commuting.
There are some trade-offs to note. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which are less efficient than gas central heating, and the service charge averages around £1,560 per year. The building dates from the 1960s, so while the flat is well maintained, buyers should expect mid-century construction characteristics. The wider area scores as relatively deprived on some indices—this may affect future resale values in parts of the borough.
This apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance home or rental in a leafy Aldersbrook pocket, close to excellent schools, green space and good transport links. The layout and condition mean you can move in and personalise rather than undertake major works.
