Set within a striking Grade II listed building on Dames Road, this bright first-floor flat combines period character with contemporary finishes. The apartment benefits from its own private staircase, generous sash windows on three sides and attractive flooring throughout, creating light-filled rooms and a sense of space rare for a London flat. At approximately 776 sq ft, the layout includes a generous reception room, an eat-in kitchen and two double bedrooms — practical for a first home or rental.
Practical advantages include off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent local transport links: Wanstead Park and Forest Gate stations are both within easy walking distance, providing Overground and Elizabeth Line access. Wanstead Flats and local cafés are moments away, offering green space and community amenities on the doorstep.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, a service charge around £1,200pa and a small ground rent of £200pa. Listed status will restrict some alterations and can complicate planning for major works or energy-efficiency upgrades. The building has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) so future improvement works to insulation may be constrained by the listing. Overall this is a characterful, well-presented home with clear appeal to first-time buyers or investors who understand the implications of lease length and listed-building ownership.
