Set on the seventh floor with lift access, this one-bedroom apartment delivers bright, light-filled living and far-reaching views over Wanstead Flats. The generous reception room includes space for dining and opens onto a private balcony, extending the living area and framing the outlook. A separate fitted kitchen and a well-proportioned bedroom make the layout practical for everyday use.
Practical extras include a large storage room that could be used as a study and double glazing (install date unknown). The building dates from 1976–82 and is system-built with partial insulation, so there is scope for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating to add value. The flat is leasehold and sits in a busy urban location with above-average recorded crime and signs of local deprivation.
Transport and amenities are convenient: Wanstead Park Station and local bus routes are nearby, with Stratford and Westfield within easy reach. Local schools include several rated Good and an Outstanding secondary, making the area suitable for young families and first-time buyers seeking local schooling options. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong.
This apartment suits a buyer who values view, light and a sensible layout and who is willing to manage longer-term maintenance or upgrade work. It offers an accessible entry point to the area and clear potential for improvement rather than a fully finished turnkey home.
