This ground-floor one-bedroom conversion occupies a period mid-terrace and offers a practical, move‑in ready layout with useful additional basement space. The reception room is light and well presented, the kitchen opens directly to a sunny low‑maintenance garden, and a modern bathroom completes the main living level. The property suits a first-time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor seeking immediate rental income or an easy first home.
The lower level contains two versatile basement rooms, currently arranged as a cinema room and a walk‑in wardrobe/guest room/home office. These spaces add valuable floor area and entertainment potential but are partially below ground and may have limited natural light. The building dates from c.1930–49 and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so buyers should consider potential energy efficiency upgrades.
Practical details: the flat is leasehold, in a deprived but well‑connected area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Transport links are strong (Plaistow Underground nearby) and local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding. Council tax is low, which helps running costs, but the neighbourhood records average crime so prospective purchasers should judge personal priorities accordingly.
Overall this is a compact, well‑laid out property that combines period character with contemporary finishes and rare basement extras. It presents clear value for those wanting a ready home or an investment opportunity, while buyers should factor in leasehold status, potential insulation improvements and the reduced natural light in basement rooms.
