A bright, chain-free first-floor apartment a short walk from Ilford station, well suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The generous overall size (approx. 1,163 sq ft) and 15' x 14' lounge create flexible living space, while a balcony adds an outdoor spot for fresh air.
The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002. The property has a long lease (115 years remaining) and a modest annual ground rent of £200, providing tenure security for buyers. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the flat convenient for commuters and working-from-home occupants.
Practical drawbacks are clear and important: heating is via electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the property will need some decorating and updating to reach modern standards. Bedrooms are relatively small and there is a single bathroom, which may limit suitability for larger households. Local crime levels are above average, so buyers should factor that into their decision.
Positioned close to The Exchange Shopping Centre, library, cinema and a wide range of shops and eateries, the location scores for convenience and rental appeal. Overall this apartment offers a straightforward, affordable entry to Ilford with clear potential for modest refurbishment and rental income or a comfortable starter home.
