A bright, characterful two-bedroom first-floor flat with its own front door and generous outdoor space, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking ready-to-live-in stock in Walthamstow. The apartment sits in a late-Victorian mid-terrace and retains period charm alongside contemporary updates: double glazing, tasteful fittings, built-in storage and a well-equipped kitchen. Large windows give lots of natural light and the loft is included in the demise for extra storage or conversion subject to consent.
Outside, the flat benefits from a south-west facing, sole-use section of garden plus access to a larger shared area — useful for summertime entertaining or growing plants. Transport links are strong: Lea Bridge and St James Street stations are within walking distance, with plentiful bus routes into Walthamstow and central London. Local life is lively, with parks (including Jubilee Park), cafés, independent food and drink options and useful amenities on the doorstep.
Be clear on the practical points: the property is leasehold (104 years remaining) with a ground rent of £350 and a modest council tax band. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so some thermal upgrades could be considered to improve energy efficiency. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average and the wider neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation; buyers should weigh these factors alongside the strong rental and capital-growth potential of E17. Overall, this is a well-presented, characterful home with outside space and good transport links — a sensible purchase for first-time buyers or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity.
