Set on the ground floor of a semi‑detached period building, this two‑bedroom maisonette offers a rare combination of private outdoor space and convenient transport links. The accommodation extends to approximately 665 sq ft and includes a fitted kitchen, a bright sunroom overlooking the private rear garden, and off‑street parking — useful for first‑time buyers or those downsizing.
Practical ownership perks include no service charge, a very long lease (c.953 years) and a low ground rent of £15. The property is an easy 0.7‑mile walk to Romford Elizabeth Line and National Rail station, and close to shopping and local amenities, making commuting straightforward.
There are some clear maintenance and energy considerations: the property is of solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation and has double glazing fitted before 2002. The EPC is rated D and heating is via a mains‑gas boiler and radiators. The area records higher crime levels, which buyers should factor into their decision.
This flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into Romford with garden space and parking, or an investor looking for lettable accommodation near strong transport links. The layout and straightforward condition mean there's scope to modernise energy performance and internal finishes to add value.
