Summary - 26 TRAFALGAR PLACE LONDON E11 1SS
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Two-bedroom, long-lease home near shops, schools and transport links.
Chain free with private entrance and split-level layout
A chain-free, split-level maisonette in Wanstead offering two bedrooms and a private entrance — ideal for a first-time buyer wanting a manageable home with scope to personalise. The reception room has a bay and large windows that flood the space with natural light; a small garden provides outdoor space in an otherwise urban setting.
The property benefits from a very long lease (approximately 959–999 years remaining), no service charge and a low ground rent of £100 per year. Double glazing was installed post-2002, and local broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for home working and streaming.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas centrally heated homes, and the building dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s. The exterior shows some overgrowth and will need basic maintenance. Rooms are average-sized with standard ceiling heights; the mezzanine/second-floor layout means stairs between levels and may not suit those needing step-free access.
Overall, this maisonette presents a straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out light cosmetic improvements and consider the running-cost implications of electric heating. Its location close to Wanstead’s shops, eateries and well-regarded schools adds practical appeal and rental/long-term resale potential.
