2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful ground-floor home with a long private garden and great transport links.
Two bedroom ground-floor flat, approx. 536 sq ft

Victorian features: bay window, high ceilings, wooden floors
Long lease (c.145–146 years) and peppercorn ground rent
Council Tax Band B; EPC rating C—reasonable running costs
Small overall internal size; compact two-bedroom layout
Solid brick walls likely lack insulation; energy upgrades possible
Higher local crime and area deprivation indicators to note
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in Walthamstow, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat combines period character with useful outdoor space. The front room’s Victorian bay, high ceilings and stripped wooden floors give immediate character, while a modern kitchen and bathroom provide everyday comfort. The property benefits from its own private entrance and a notably long, private rear garden — a rare find at this size.
At approximately 536 sq ft the layout is compact and practical: two versatile rooms plus a central reception and a garden-facing bedroom. The long lease (about 145–146 years remaining) and peppercorn ground rent simplify long-term ownership. Council Tax Band B and an EPC rating of C keep running costs relatively modest.
Buyers should be straightforward about limitations. Overall internal size is small for a two-bedroom, and the building’s solid brick construction likely offers minimal wall insulation. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. The immediate area performs mixedly: good local schools and excellent transport links balance a higher local crime rate and indicators of area deprivation.
This home suits first-time buyers or couples prioritising outdoor space, character and transport links over generous internal square footage. It’s also a candidate for modest energy upgrades or cosmetic updating to personalise and improve thermal performance.
