Summary - 5 FLAT 3 SEYMOUR GARDENS ILFORD IG1 3LN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact commuter-friendly flat with strong rental and first-time buyer appeal.
Long lease ~140 years, secure tenure
Set on the first floor of an Edwardian terrace, this compact one-bedroom flat offers immediate access to Ilford town centre and Ilford Station/Elizabeth Line — ideal for commuters. The open-plan living/kitchen maximises usable space and benefits from high ceilings and period bay-window character in the exterior, giving the flat charm and rental appeal. With a long lease of approximately 140 years and no onward chain, the tenure is secure and straightforward for buyers and investors.
The apartment measures about 348 sq ft and suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the area or a buy-to-let investor looking for a short-let or long-term tenancy near excellent transport links. Council tax is low, broadband speeds are fast and local crime rates are low, supporting both comfortable living and lettability.
Practical points: the bedroom is small, has limited natural light and the interior is dated, so low-to-medium cost updating will improve comfort and value. As a converted flat, interested parties should verify planning and building regulation consents where relevant. Room dimensions are provided for guidance and should be checked by buyers and solicitors.
Overall, this property offers transport convenience and long-lease security in a period building, with clear potential for uplift after modest refurbishment. It’s a pragmatic purchase for someone prioritising location and long-term tenure over generous internal space.
