Summary - Flat 20 Besford House, Pritchards Road E2 9BJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free one-bedroom near Broadway Market and London Fields.
Gated development with communal courtyard and mature trees
A bright one-bedroom apartment set within a quiet gated development just off Broadway Market. The flat offers a separate living room and double bedroom, large sash windows that flood rooms with natural light, wooden floors and access to a communal courtyard — a calm outdoor spot in a busy part of east London. A separate communal laundry room and useful storage add everyday convenience.
The building dates from the 1930s and has attractive red-brick character and balconies. The property is sold chain free with a share of freehold, making the purchase simpler for a first-time buyer or couple. Transport links are strong: Cambridge Heath and Bethnal Green stations are both under a mile, with Victoria Park and London Fields close by for weekend green space and markets.
Buyers should note the annual service charge is high (£5,596) despite freehold status — factor this into monthly costs. The building’s solid brick construction is likely uninsulated (assumed), so further improvement works could be needed to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heating bills. The local area shows higher crime and relative deprivation, which may concern some buyers.
Overall, this is a compact, characterful home that suits someone seeking an affordable route onto the local property ladder with immediate access to markets, parks and strong transport. It offers a good blank-canvas opportunity to upgrade energy performance and personalise the interior, but budget for running costs and possible renovation works.
