912 sq ft spacious second-floor flat with two double bedrooms
Large reception room and generous kitchen for family living

Leasehold with 87 years remaining — consider mortgage implications
Service charge approx £2,028 pa; ground rent £10 pa
EPC Rating D; double glazing pre-2002 — energy upgrades likely
Built 1930–1949 with solid brick walls, insulation may be absent
Area: excellent transport links but high deprivation and above-average crime
This roomy second-floor flat offers 912 sq ft of flexible living space with two double bedrooms, a large reception room and a generous kitchen. The indoor balcony and off-street parking add practical convenience for families or buyers needing extra storage and outdoor access. Located close to three train stations, commuting across London is straightforward.
The property is a leasehold with 87 years remaining; annual service charges average £2,028 and ground rent is £10. The building dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002. EPC rating D and central heating via a mains-gas boiler are in place, but energy performance and some updating should be expected.
Local area factors matter: the neighbourhood is classed as inner-city cosmopolitan with established renting families, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. However, area deprivation is high and recorded crime levels are above average—buyers should weigh community amenities and travel links against these local challenges.
This will suit first-time buyers or small families seeking space and good transport links who are willing to invest in improvement works. The flat’s size, layout and parking make it a rare find for the price, but budget realistically for energy upgrades, cosmetic refurbishment and the ongoing leasehold costs.
