This ground-floor one-bedroom flat occupies approximately 482 sq ft in a Victorian terrace on Stanley Road, Ilford. It offers a bay-front reception, a practical rear kitchen opening to a large private garden, gas central heating and double glazing — practical features for year-round comfort. The long lease (164 years) gives ownership security, and service charges are reasonable at £375. Council tax is low.
The property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the area or an investor looking for a straightforward buy-to-let near Seven Kings station and local bus routes. Rooms are modest but well-proportioned for the size, with simple finishes throughout that make the flat ready for cosmetic updating rather than major structural work.
Buyers should be aware of material site factors: the area has a high flood risk and higher-than-average local crime levels, and the neighbourhood is described as deprived. The building’s external joinery and finishes are dated and would benefit from cosmetic attention. There is no off-street parking and the front forecourt is small.
Overall, this flat balances practical transport links, a large garden and a long lease with a need for updating and some location-related risks. It presents clear potential for someone wanting an affordable starter home or a lettable property to add value with modest improvement works.
