This two-bedroom flat on Disraeli Road offers a practical, move-in-ready layout across approximately 657 sq ft in a mid‑1970s purpose-built block. The reception room is bright with large windows and laminate flooring; both bedrooms are a good size for a first home or rental. Double glazing and gas central heating keep running costs reasonable, and a long lease (108 years) provides security for buyers.
The block sits around communal green space with maintained communal gardens and secure entry. On‑street parking is available and the apartment includes two external storage cupboards—useful extras in a compact city home. Service charge and ground rent are modest for this type of building, and council tax is described as cheap.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the property is in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The building is typical mid‑20th century construction with partial cavity-wall insulation assumed; buyers seeking high energy efficiency or modern finishes should plan for upgrades. This flat will suit a first‑time buyer or investor comfortable with an urban location and some planned improvements.
Nearby schools include highly rated primary and secondary options, and the neighbourhood offers frequent bus services and convenient local shops, restaurants and services. For buyers prioritising lease length, low service costs and central living space, this is a practical, affordable London entry point—subject to the area’s social and infrastructure constraints.
