This first-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical entry into Plaistow living with a generous reception room and separate fitted kitchen with dining space. The layout is traditional and straightforward, with two well-proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom plus a separate WC — useful for shared living or guests. At about 793 sq ft, the apartment feels larger than many local units and has good natural light.
Location is a clear strength: the flat sits within walking distance of Plaistow station and the High Street’s shops and amenities. Nearby primary and secondary schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options, making the area workable for young families or buyers who value local schooling. Mobile signal is excellent and public transport links are strong.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property in a mid‑century, low‑rise block constructed in the 1950s–60s. Internal spaces are described as having low ceilings and modest room sizes; the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance may be below modern standards and could need improvement works. Crime levels are above average and the local area is classified as deprived, factors to weigh alongside the price and location benefits.
Overall, the flat is suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located, habitable home with straightforward renovation potential. Expect to budget for energy upgrades, possible cosmetic updating and to check lease terms and service charges before committing.
