Set on the first floor with its own private entrance, this well-presented one-bedroom flat offers a bright, adaptable layout ideal for first-time buyers or young professionals. The double bedroom has two large windows, generous built-in storage and room for wardrobes. The living room’s dual-aspect windows and wood-effect flooring create a light, usable space with an alcove suitable for a home workspace. The kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry, hardwood worktops, an integrated electric hob and oven, plus space for a freestanding fridge-freezer and washing machine. The bathroom is modern and practical with a bath and shower attachment and part-tiled walls.
At 452 sqft the flat is a compact, efficient home rather than a large apartment; it will suit someone seeking low-maintenance living close to transport and local amenities. The 150-year lease provides long-term security for leasehold ownership. Transport is a strong selling point — Forest Gate Elizabeth Line and Wanstead Park stations are within easy reach, giving fast access into central London. Local green space at Wanstead Flats and a lively high street of cafes, pubs and community facilities add everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the location’s wider challenges: the area is relatively deprived and local crime levels are above average, which may affect perceptions and insurance costs. Internally the flat is ready to move into but is compact, so anyone needing more space should consider how well it will meet long-term needs. Services, appliances and fixtures have not been independently tested in this description and prospective buyers should commission their own checks and a survey.
Overall this is a neatly finished, well-located starter home with good transport links and strong local amenities. It will particularly suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable, centrally connected flat with decent storage and natural light.
