Summary - 3, Tennyson Road E10 5JS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Period charm meets modern extension with private garden and off-street parking.
Newly renovated two-bedroom ground-floor flat with high ceilings and period features
Step into a newly renovated two-bedroom ground floor flat that blends Victorian character with a contemporary rear extension. High ceilings, sash windows and an original fireplace give period charm, while the open-plan kitchen/living space with skylights and full-width French doors creates a bright, sociable heart to the home. The private garden, sun terrace and large timber outbuilding extend living space outdoors — useful for storage or a home studio.
Practical positives include off-street parking, a long lease of c.145 years and modest ground rent (£60 p.a.). The property is recently updated throughout with quality finishes — terrazzo kitchen flooring, travertine bathroom tiling and integrated storage — so it is largely move-in ready for a small family or couple. Good local transport links (Leyton Underground and Overground nearby) and local shops, cafés and parks make day-to-day life convenient.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the flat is leasehold (long lease but still subject to lease terms), it sits in an area with above-average crime and measured local deprivation, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. Buyers should confirm service charges and any planning/permit history for the extension and outbuilding. The EPC is C — reasonable but not top-tier — so expect typical London-era running costs.
Overall this is a practical, stylish home for first-time buyers or couples wanting outdoor space and character close to central connections. It offers immediate comfort and clear potential to personalise, while buyers should allow for the neighbourhood context and confirm thermal improvement options if desired.
