Summary - 262C HOE STREET E17 3AX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, newly refurbished flat moments from Walthamstow Central station.
Chain-free with a long 106-year lease
A compact, newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment positioned on Hoe Street, offering immediate move-in or rental potential. The second-floor flat is part of a small period conversion of four units, presented with a bright open-plan kitchen/living room, modern grey fitted kitchen and double-glazed sash-style windows. With 361 sq ft and a long lease of 106 years, it is offered chain-free and suits buyers seeking convenient, central Walthamstow living or a straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical positives include excellent transport links from nearby Walthamstow Central, fast broadband and mains gas central heating. The apartment benefits from a contemporary finish throughout and a sensible ground rent of £200. There's no flooding risk and local amenities — shops, cafes, cinema and green spaces — are all within easy walking distance, making day-to-day life very convenient.
Important factual drawbacks: the flat is small (361 sq ft) and the bedroom is modest, so storage and living space are limited. The building is on a busy high street so some street noise should be expected, and the wider area records very high crime and higher deprivation indicators which may affect resale/rental premiums. Walls are assumed to have no insulation (built c.1930–49), which could mean higher running costs or future retrofit needs despite the new internal finishes.
Overall this property is best for a first-time buyer wanting a compact, central home, or an investor after a chain-free, easy-to-manage conversion flat close to transport. It offers good short-term convenience and rental appeal, though buyers should budget for limited space and consider the local area profile when assessing long-term value.
