Summary - FANSHAW HOUSE FLAT 6 THE DRIVE LONDON E17 3BY
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, chain-free two-bed with balcony and communal gardens near stations.
Approximately 766 sq ft two-bedroom upper-floor flat
A bright, well-proportioned two-bedroom flat on the second floor, set between Walthamstow Central and Walthamstow Village. At approximately 766 sq ft this is a larger two-bedroom layout for the block, with a long through lounge, balcony, and two useful external sheds that extend storage options. Natural light and neutral decor make the apartment move-in ready with clear scope for cosmetic updates to boost value.
Practical running costs are straightforward: current service charge about £141.60 pcm and ground rent £10 p.a. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property has double glazing installed before 2002; the EPC rating is D. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so buyers should expect mid-century construction characteristics and some retrofit work where desired.
A major point for buyers is the lease. There are around 80 years remaining which may restrict mortgage availability and will require lease-extension advice and cost planning. The flat is being sold chain free, which simplifies timing, but purchasers should factor in lease costs and potential lender conditions before committing.
Location is a genuine strength: short walks to Walthamstow Central and Wood Street stations, easy Victoria Line and Overground access, and a mix of shops, cafés and green spaces nearby. The neighbourhood suits first-time buyers or investors seeking rental demand from young families and students, with several well-regarded schools within walking distance.
