Summary - 1 NORTHCOTE ROAD LONDON E17 7DT
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Ground-floor three-bed with private garden, long lease and quick Victoria Line access.
Three bedrooms with bay-fronted reception and wood flooring
A ground-floor three-bedroom flat with a rare private rear garden in central Walthamstow. The bay-fronted reception room delivers generous natural light, warm wood flooring and mid-century character, while the modern fitted kitchen and shower room keep day-to-day living simple and efficient. Share of freehold and a very long lease (approx. 997 years) reduce long-term tenure costs; council tax band B is inexpensive.
Practical positives include double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, and good broadband/mobile connectivity. St. James Street and Blackhorse Road stations are around half a mile away for quick Victoria Line or Liverpool Street access, and local shops, cafés and green spaces are a short walk away.
Be aware of the area’s challenges: recorded crime levels are very high and the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived. The building is a traditional solid-brick terrace (c.1900–1929) with assumed no wall insulation — further insulating works may be needed for comfort and running-cost savings. The flat is compact at about 749 sq ft and has a single bathroom, which may feel tight for three occupants.
This property will suit a buyer seeking outdoor space and period character in a well-connected pocket of Walthamstow, prepared to manage ongoing maintenance and neighbourhood safety considerations. It also presents rental or refurbishment potential given the long lease and share-of-freehold ownership.
