Historic town-centre home with generous space and a long lease for first-time buyers.
Large double bedroom with flexible upstairs bathroom layout
Set in the heart of historic Waltham Abbey, this spacious one-bedroom duplex offers generous living over two floors and a long 119-year lease. The large double bedroom, open-plan living/dining area and upstairs bathroom create a flexible layout well suited to a first-time buyer seeking character and space without an immediate major spend.
The building sits on a historic high street and benefits from a communal courtyard and very close access to local shops, cafés and Waltham Cross station for straightforward commuting into London. At approximately 751 sq ft the apartment feels larger than many one-bed flats, giving room for home working and comfortable living.
Practical points: heating and main fuel are electric with a boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are very slow and the area records very high crime levels — these are important considerations for daily living and running a household. Service charges average about £1,500 per year and there is no ground rent.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer who values period character, central convenience and a long lease, and who is comfortable managing or upgrading utilities and connectivity where needed.
