This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in St Mary’s Court offers a rare private garden and step-free access, making it an attractive proposition for first-time buyers seeking outdoor space in East Ham. At around 679 sq ft the layout suits a couple, small family, or sharers needing a home office. The property sits close to good schools including Brampton Manor Academy and benefits from fast public transport links to central London.
The flat is functional but dated: interiors show wear and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Double glazing is installed (pre-2002) and the building is a system-built block with partial insulation; heating is via a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The lease has approximately 89 years remaining and the current ground rent is low (£10), which may affect future mortgage or remortgage options until extended.
Practical running costs are favourable: Council Tax Band B and mains gas heating. The location provides easy access to East Ham station, local buses, shops and green spaces such as Central Park. However, the immediate area is in a deprived ward with above-average crime statistics, so buyers should weigh community and safety factors when considering this purchase.
Overall, the flat represents an affordable entry onto the property ladder with outdoor space and good transport and school links. It will reward buyers who are willing to invest in cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements and who are comfortable managing a leasehold purchase with under-90 years remaining.
