Situated on Lea Bridge Road, this bright one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Leyton’s busy high street. The living room and separate kitchen with dining space make the most of 431 sq ft, with neutral décor throughout and clear scope for personalisation.
Transport links are a major asset: Lea Bridge and Leyton Midland Road Overground stations and frequent bus routes provide fast journeys to Stratford, Walthamstow and central London. Nearby Walthamstow Marshes and local cafés add lifestyle appeal for buyers seeking green space and a lively neighbourhood.
The property is being sold leasehold with around 92 years remaining and a small ground rent (£150). The building dates from 1900–1929, has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown age. These factors, plus an average broadband speed and very high local crime and deprivation indices, are important practical considerations.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to refresh the interior rather than undertake major structural work. It presents clear value for someone looking to improve and personalise a compact London home or to let in a high-demand rental area.
