Light-filled and generously proportioned, this first-floor two-bedroom flat sits in a Victorian terrace on Forest Road, just a short walk from Lloyd Park and Walthamstow Central (Victoria Line). At around 818 sq ft the apartment offers a wide 17ft reception with box bay, two double bedrooms, a practical galley kitchen and a family bathroom — all with period character such as sash windows, decorative coving and a feature fireplace. The loft is included in the demise, adding obvious storage and potential (subject to planning/consents).
The property is chain-free and leasehold with 89 years remaining; ground rent is a modest £100. It is an ex‑council/Warnter conversion with solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation), double glazing fitted post‑2002 and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. A generous shared garden of approximately 39ft and a shed provide outside space rare for this location.
This home will suit first-time buyers wanting space and character close to green amenities and strong transport links, or buy‑to‑let investors seeking a straightforward, rental-ready layout. Note the material considerations: the lease length is under 90 years (which can affect mortgage/valuation options and may necessitate a lease extension later) and the building’s solid-wall construction implies limited wall insulation unless upgraded. No flooding risk is recorded and council tax is described as cheap.
Overall this is a solid, characterful London conversion offering immediate occupancy with scope to add value through targeted improvements (insulation, cosmetic modernisation or loft conversion subject to consents). Proximity to parks, markets and local amenities gives it practical day‑to‑day appeal.
