Step inside this unexpectedly large one‑bedroom flat in Plaistow and you get space that’s rare at this price. At nearly 650 sq ft the layout feels more like a small house, with a separate kitchen, bright reception room and a generous private garden — great for summer and storage. The long lease (152 years) and chain‑free sale simplify buying or letting.
The building dates from the 1930s and retains period character, including a bay window and fireplace, but the interior will benefit from updating and redecoration to suit modern tastes. Heating is by mains‑gas boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing fitted since 2002. Walls are solid brick (assumed no insulation) which may mean future insulation work if you prioritise energy efficiency.
Location is practical: quiet residential street with fast public transport to the City and Stratford, and many local amenities nearby. There are several highly rated schools within easy reach, making this a viable option for first‑time buyers seeking space or investors after a long‑lease, chain‑free flat.
Be straightforward about downsides: the area scores as deprived with above‑average crime, and the property shows some dated finishes and likely thermal inefficiency from solid walls. For buyers ready to invest some cosmetic or insulation work, this flat offers good space, garden and future value uplift potential.
