- One double bedroom with open-plan living and kitchen
- Large factory-style windows with Art Deco conversion character
- 883 sq ft overall size, practical low-maintenance layout
- Excellent public transport: Elizabeth Line and Overground nearby
- Close to Wanstead Flats, shops, cafés and local amenities
- Leasehold tenure; buyers should check lease length and costs
- Located in a deprived area with above-average crime rates

This one-bedroom apartment on Shaftesbury Road offers a practical, low-maintenance home or rental in an improving East London location. The open-plan living and kitchen make efficient use of the 883 sq ft internal footprint, while large factory-style windows in the converted Art Deco building bring urban character and natural light.
Transport links are a major strength: Forest Gate Station (Elizabeth Line) and Woodgrange Park Overground are within walking distance, providing swift access to Stratford, the City and central London — a clear benefit for commuters and investors seeking reliable tenant demand. Local shops, cafés, Tesco Express and Wanstead Flats are all nearby, supporting daily life and leisure.
Important considerations are factual and plain: the property is leasehold, located in a deprived area with above-average crime rates, and the glazing dates from before 2002. The building was constructed in the early 1990s and uses mains gas boiler and radiators for heating. For buyers who prioritise low upfront work, the flat is presented as straightforward; buyers seeking a turnkey luxury finish may want to budget for updates or cosmetic improvement.
Overall, this flat suits first-time buyers aiming to get on the ladder or investors seeking a well-located rental in a transport-connected neighbourhood. No onward chain simplifies transaction timing, but purchasers should review lease details and local safety data as part of their due diligence.
