A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac, offered chain free with a newly extended 999-year lease. The flat is compact at approximately 373 sq ft, arranged as an open-plan living/kitchen, double bedroom and shower room — a practical, low-maintenance home or rental unit. Allocated off-street parking and a well-tended communal garden add usable outdoor space uncommon at this size.
Practical features include an entry-phone system, allocated parking, and a large hallway storage cupboard. The location is a key selling point: short walks to Wanstead Flats, nearby local shops and cafés on Wanstead High Street, and reasonable rail links for commuters. Council Tax is described as affordable and there is clear appeal for a single occupant, first-time buyer, or buy-to-let investor.
Be aware of a few material considerations. The property is small and best suited for one person or as an investment; the heating is electric storage heaters and glazing is single (which will affect running costs). There is an average service charge of £1,620 per year and broadband speeds are average. The wider area shows pockets of deprivation by some measures.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented ground-floor flat in a convenient green-edge location. It offers long lease security and low-maintenance living, but buyers should factor in potential heating and glazing upgrades and ongoing service charges.
