This immaculate one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of Sovereign House, a modern, low-maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers and young professionals.

Allocated off-street parking adds practical value in this busy area.
Practical details support everyday living: 495 sq ft of accommodation, a 115-year lease remaining, and under a new-build guarantee. Heating is via an air-source heat pump with radiators, and the flat has secondary glazing and internal insulation, helping efficiency and comfort. Local amenities and South Woodford Central Line station are moments away for straightforward commuting.
Be aware of ongoing costs and local context. The property has an average service charge of £1,250 per year and a small ground rent of £250. Council tax band B is relatively cheap, but the immediate area records higher crime levels than average — buyers should factor that into their decision. The building records list construction from 1930–1949 despite the current new-build guarantee.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment with strong connectivity, modern systems, and parking — a sensible purchase for a buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in urban base with modest running costs and clear renovation potential if desired.
