Chain-free, commuter-friendly flat with private patio and extra storage.
Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor flat
A ground-floor, two-bedroom flat in South Woodford offering straightforward, commuter-friendly living close to the Central Line. The layout is flexible — the living room is currently used as an extra bedroom and opens onto a private patio that provides useful outdoor space for plants or a small sitting area. A brick-built external shed gives rare additional storage for bikes or tools.
The building dates from the 1930s and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, but the property shows signs of age. The exterior corridor is undergoing renovation (scaffolding present) and the flat will suit buyers happy to refresh fixtures and cosmetic finishes; one bedroom’s décor needs updating. Walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation (assumed), so consider potential insulation improvements and energy-efficiency work.
Practicalities are clear: leasehold with about 105 years remaining and a low ground rent (£10). Parking is on-street via a council permit. This chain-free purchase is appealing to first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable flat in an affluent, well-connected area. Buyers should factor in refurbishment and potential energy-efficiency upgrades when budgeting.
