This upper-ground Edwardian conversion offers a compact, well-laid-out one-bedroom home with direct outdoor access and period charm. The bay-front reception brings generous natural light while the separate kitchen leads down to a private rear garden — a rare outdoor space for a flat in this location. The double bedroom opens onto a small private balcony, ideal for morning coffee.
Practical details are investor- and buyer-friendly: the property is chain free, comes with a long lease (148 years remaining) and an EPC rated C72. Commuters benefit from very short walks to Wanstead High Street (0.1 miles) and Snaresbrook station (0.2 miles), with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal in the area.
Be clear on the limitations: the flat is small (approximately 429 sq ft) and sits in a terrace likely constructed with solid brick and no cavity wall insulation. Ground rent is £250 per year and it is leasehold. The neighbourhood records above-average crime, which buyers should weigh alongside the area’s very affluent and well-served amenities.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking a compact home close to transport and local shops or buy-to-let investors targeting strong rental demand. Modest updating or targeted improvements (insulation, cosmetic modernisation) could enhance comfort and long-term value.
