This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Selworthy Close offers a practical first home with strong transport links and pleasant green outlooks. At 0.2 miles from Snaresbrook Central Line, it suits commuters who want a short walk to the tube and Wanstead High Street amenities.
The flat has a modern fitted kitchen and fully tiled bathroom, a generous reception that can accommodate dining, and useful built-in storage in the hallway. A rare-to-find garage en-bloc adds valuable private parking and storage. The long lease (946 years remaining) and chain-free position simplify purchase and future resale.
Buyers should note the property uses electric storage heaters and has an EPC rating of E (46), which may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. Annual charges include a service charge of £2,492.20 plus an additional estate charge of £481; ground rent is minimal (£22 pa).
The development sits in a mature, mid-century block with well-kept communal green space and easy access to local parks such as Leyton Flats and Wanstead Park. The area is well served for schools and shops, but crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, so prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures.
