Chain-free one-bedroom with long lease and swift Elizabeth Line links.
Chain-free ground-floor flat with private garden
A chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with its own private garden and a brand new 125-year lease. At about 485 sqft, the flat offers a separate reception room and a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes — practical layout for day-to-day living or rental use.
Location is a strong selling point: Forest Gate benefits from the Elizabeth Line at Forest Gate station for fast central and airport links, plus quick road access via the A12/A406/A13. Wanstead Flats and community amenities are within walking distance, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools serve the area.
The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character externally; interiors are presented in a modern, neutral style. Practical notes: walls are solid brick with no known insulation, glazing is double but installation date is unknown, and the property uses mains gas boiler and radiators. Service charge is £950 per year and council tax is low.
Important cautions: the postcode area records higher crime and general deprivation indices, which may affect long-term capital growth or lettability for some buyers. The flat may suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with immediate rental potential, but buyers wanting turn-key premium finish or thermal performance improvements should budget for upgrades.
