A bright two-bedroom ground-floor flat in Leyton offering period character and private outdoor space. High ceilings, bay windows and a spacious reception give the apartment a roomy, Victorian feel, while the fitted kitchen opens directly onto a private rear garden — rare for a flat in this price band. The bathroom is modern and the property is ready for immediate occupation with scope to personalise.
Practical details that matter: the flat is leasehold with 59 years remaining. That short lease can make mortgage approval difficult and will affect value; buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice and factor in the cost of a lease extension. Service charge and ground rent are modest (circa 400 pa service charge, 70 ground rent) and council tax is described as low.
Location is a clear strength for first-time buyers and young families: Leyton Midland Road and Leyton tube are within easy reach, local shops, cafés and green spaces such as Coronation Gardens and Hollow Ponds are close by. Good and outstanding primary and secondary schools are nearby, and local broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for home working.
The building is a circa 1900s solid-brick Victorian terrace with double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating. Walls are likely uninsulated as built; adding insulation or other energy improvements would reduce running costs but may require permissions. The rear garden is narrow but private and can be landscaped to extend usable outdoor living. Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor willing to manage lease issues or fund modest upgrades.
