Summary - 16a Green Street, Forest Gate E7 8BZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, chain-free one-bedroom with garden and long lease near Forest Gate station.
Ground-floor one-bedroom Victorian conversion with private west-facing garden
Set on the ground floor of a Victorian mid-terrace, this one-bedroom conversion pairs period character with contemporary fixtures and a private west-facing garden. The layout includes a bright reception with bay window, a dine-in kitchen with integrated appliances, one double bedroom and a modern bathroom. The apartment is chain-free with a long lease of about 125 years.
Located a short walk from Forest Gate station (Elizabeth line) and close to Woodgrange Park (Overground), the flat offers strong transport links and easy access to Stratford. Wanstead Flats and local parks provide quick access to green space, while nearby shops, cafés and eateries create a lively neighbourhood. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Practical considerations: total size is modest (c.472 sq ft) and rooms are compact, so this suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a central, well-presented one-bedroom. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid-brick walls (no known insulation) and double glazing of unknown age. Service charge is c. £850 (below average) and council tax is low.
Buyers should note the local area records very high crime levels and overall deprivation in the immediate vicinity. While the flat is presented in good decorative order, the assumed lack of wall insulation and unknown dates for glazing/heating installations may mean further improvements are desirable to reduce running costs.
