Summary - 57A DAMES ROAD LONDON E7 0DR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-presented lower-ground one-bed with private patio and shared west-facing garden..
Share of freehold ownership included
A well-presented lower-ground one-bedroom flat in a Victorian conversion, offered with a share of freehold and sensible, contemporary finishes. The open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from herringbone wood flooring, good natural light from a lightwell and a layout that feels larger than its 447 sq ft suggests. The double bedroom opens onto a private patio and the flat has access to a larger west-facing communal garden — useful outdoor space in an inner-London setting.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city base with excellent transport links. Forest Gate (Elizabeth Line) is a short walk away, providing fast journeys into central London and Canary Wharf, while Wanstead Flats and local shops are on the doorstep. Practical details are simple: mains gas central heating, modern bathroom and integrated kitchen appliances, plus cheap council tax and fast broadband.
There are some practical drawbacks to note. The flat sits at lower-ground level with a lightwell and limited external views; the private patio is small. The building is a period brick terrace (1900–1929) with assumed solid walls and no added cavity insulation, so heating costs and insulation improvements should be considered. The local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators; there is no obvious private parking.
Overall this is a compact, well-kept flat that balances city access with outdoor amenity. It presents a straightforward purchase for a buyer wanting an affordable entry into the area or a rental opportunity close to the Elizabeth Line. Renovation potential is limited but targeted improvements (insulation, decoration) could add comfort and value.
