Summary - 159 GAINSBOROUGH AVENUE LONDON E12 6JN
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Two-bed ground-floor flat with garden — chain free and full of refurbishment potential near Manor Park station.
Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor flat with private rear garden
A chain-free, two-bedroom ground-floor flat offering 629 sq ft of living space and a private rear garden in Manor Park. The property sits in a 1930s mid-terrace with period exterior features, double glazing and gas central heating — a practical starter home or rental prospect close to Manor Park station (about a 9-minute walk).
The interior is described as in need of refurbishment: bedrooms and living areas are modest in size and some rooms show dated finishes. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no added cavity insulation, the boiler/radiators run on mains gas, and the EPC rating is D. These factors, together with the 86-year lease, are important when assessing long-term running costs and mortgage/lease considerations.
Financially the flat is offered with a guide price of £230,000–£250,000 and is chain free. Annual service charge is approximately £1,646.25 with ground rent of about £150 per year; council tax band B is relatively low. The area has good transport, local shops and schools nearby but sits in a generally deprived area with average crime levels — factors to weigh for families or investors.
This property suits a cash-limited first-time buyer or investor willing to carry out light-to-medium refurbishment to unlock value. It provides immediate rental or owner-occupier potential thanks to its location and private garden, but budget for improvement works and factor in lease length when planning long-term ownership.
