This modern two-bedroom apartment on the 7th floor of Carlton House offers a practical, move-in-ready home for first-time buyers. The open-plan living area with balcony, two bathrooms and an allocated parking space suit everyday suburban living and young professionals commuting to central London.
Location is a key strength — about five minutes' walk to Seven Kings station with Elizabeth Line connections, plus nearby Ilford amenities. The building is modern with lift access, a communal garden and an EPC B rating, reflecting reasonable energy performance.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the property sits in a higher flood-risk area and the immediate neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels. Service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (£3,400 and £300 per year respectively), and the property is leasehold (around 240 years remaining).
Overall, this is a sensible purchase for buyers seeking commuter convenience and a low-maintenance modern flat. The combination of allocated parking, decent energy rating and chain-free sale makes it straightforward to view and progress, but factor in insurance, flood mitigation and service-charge commitments when budgeting.
