Compact, chain-free two-bedroom flat minutes from Leytonstone station — ready for cosmetic updating.
Chain-free, first-floor Victorian conversion, share of freehold
A chain-free, first-floor Victorian conversion in the heart of Leytonstone, this compact two-bedroom flat offers immediate access to city transport and local amenities. At around 527 sq ft the layout is efficient: a light living room with a bay window and high ceilings gives a sense of space, while two well-proportioned bedrooms suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors aiming for central-E11 demand.
The building retains period character externally and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Practical advantages include share of freehold tenure, low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home — plus straightforward access to Leytonstone Underground and buses.
Buyers should note the flat is small and will suit those comfortable with compact urban living. The property has an EPC rating of D and cavity walls with partial insulation (assumed), so further energy improvements could reduce bills. Internal photos show some damaged wall areas and the glazing install date is unknown, indicating light to medium cosmetic or maintenance works may be needed.
Nearby schools include well-regarded primaries and secondaries, and Wanstead Flats and local shops, cafés and transport links are within easy reach. This is a practical, well-located flat for a first-time buyer wanting a central E11 base or an investor seeking reliable rental demand, provided you’re prepared to carry out minor updates to maximise value.
