Set on Wood Street in Walthamstow, this chain-free three-bedroom second-floor flat offers practical living space with strong transport links into central London. The apartment sits in a 1930s Art Deco block and benefits from nearby Wood Street Overground station, fast broadband and easy access to Epping Forest and local cafes.
Internally the flat provides a separate living room, defined kitchen and one bathroom across approximately 817 sq ft. Period features in the building give character while recent double glazing and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort. Several highly rated schools sit within easy reach, making the location attractive to young families and sharers.
Important practical points: the lease has around 54 years remaining which may deter mortgage lenders and will limit typical mortgage options; buyers should obtain specialist advice before proceeding. The area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators — buyers should factor this into budgeting and renovation plans. Overall this is a budget-friendly, chain-free home with good transport, renovation potential and clear limitations on mortgageability.
