Compact two-bedroom conversion with garden, long lease and excellent transport links.
Chain-free first-floor Victorian conversion, approx. 589 sq ft
A chain-free, first-floor Victorian conversion in Leyton offering compact, well-arranged living across approximately 589 sq ft. The flat combines period character — a bay-windowed main bedroom and tall ceilings — with practical modern comforts such as double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C.
The layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for an affordable entry into E10. A reception room with engineered wood flooring leads to a fitted kitchen/diner and a rear bathroom, with a handy private low‑maintenance garden accessed directly from the flat. Leyton Midland Road and Leytonstone stations are both walkable, and Francis Road’s cafes and shops are a short stroll away.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (949 years remaining), zero ground rent and no service charge, plus low council tax (Band B). The property is compact, so it works best for buyers seeking efficient urban living rather than spacious family accommodation.
Notable drawbacks are the small overall size and a notably small second bedroom — this will limit layout options for some buyers. The building shows signs of age and would benefit from updating in places; buyers should budget for potential modernization and verify any works. Local crime levels are reported above average, which some purchasers will want to consider alongside the strong transport links and community amenities.
