This ground-floor two-bedroom flat on Glencoe Avenue offers a straightforward, characterful home with a large private garden — rare for a flat in the area. The property sits in an Edwardian mid-terrace, retains period brickwork and bay-window character, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. Its overall size (approximately 645–716 sq ft) suits a small family, sharers or an investor seeking a rental-ready layout.
Important: the lease has 65 years remaining and the freehold is held by the Crown. Mortgage lenders are likely to refuse standard mortgages; the property is marketed for cash buyers only. This material lease shortfall is the main constraint and will affect most buyers’ ability to purchase with a mortgage.
Internally the flat is in good condition, with a practical kitchen, bathroom and a reception room offering flexible living space. The rear garden is a standout feature — low-maintenance yet large for a ground-floor flat — useful for children, pets or outdoor entertaining. Council tax is inexpensive and local broadband speeds are fast, making the flat suitable for remote working.
Location is practical: local schools grade well, and Ilford offers shops and transport links into central London. Structural walls are assumed solid brick with no added insulation; prospective buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency upgrades into any refurbishment plans. Overall, this is a straightforward, characterful flat offering strong outdoor space but with a significant leasehold limitation that restricts mortgage finance.
