Step into a well-proportioned ground-floor flat offering practical living in a fast-commuting East London location. The property benefits from a very long lease (979 years), share of freehold control and off-street parking with permit—features that appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors aiming for low leasehold risk and easy access to the Elizabeth line at Forest Gate.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a bright reception room and a separate fitted kitchen. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed though installation date is unknown. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and shows typical post‑war construction characteristics.
Important considerations: the block sits in a high-crime, very deprived ward, which may affect insurance and lettings; the external walls are solid brick with assumed lack of insulation; there is a notable annual service charge of about £2,228. Council tax banding is not provided.
Overall this flat offers secure long-term tenure, strong transport links and nearby schools rated Good–Outstanding, making it a practical step onto the property ladder or a straightforward rental proposition. Buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades and factor local area challenges into their decision.
