Move-in-ready ground-floor flat near Leytonstone shops and stations.
Own front door and private south-east facing rear garden
Bright, newly refurbished two-bedroom ground-floor flat blending period character with contemporary finishes. The property benefits from its own front door, sash windows, original fireplace details and a south-east facing private garden, making it an attractive move-in-ready home for first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance living.
Internally the layout is efficient: two double bedrooms, a modern open-plan kitchen/living area and a well-appointed bathroom. Double glazing and gas central heating are already installed, and neutral decor throughout means minimal immediate work is required. Practical running costs include Council Tax Band B and a modest ground rent of £12.50 per month.
Important considerations: the overall footprint is small (approx. 553 sq ft), typical for a ground-floor flat, and the building is of solid brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation. The property is leasehold with approximately 119–120 years remaining, so buyers should note the tenure. The local area is lively and well connected but recorded as relatively deprived with average crime levels.
Location is a strong selling point: roughly half a mile to both Leyton and Leytonstone stations (Central Line), plus immediate access to Francis Road’s cafes, independent shops and eateries. This flat suits first-time buyers wanting a compact, characterful home near transport and local amenities, or investors seeking a straightforward let in an active East London neighbourhood.
