This one-bedroom first-floor flat offers practical space for a commuter or small family seeking value close to transport links. The property benefits from its own private 36ft rear garden — a rare feature for a flat — plus a generous kitchen, lounge and a double bedroom.
Set in a 1930s end-terrace building, the home has double glazing (unknown install date) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The long 99-year lease provides security of tenure, and local schools and Becontree train station are within easy reach, making daily journeys straightforward.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so heating bills and cold spots are possible without upgrades. The area is classified as deprived, and there is an annual service charge of approximately £1,250 with a ground rent of £10. The flat is average-sized and will suit someone prepared to personalise or refurbish to modern standards.
Overall this is a practical, affordable option for first-time buyers or commuters who prioritise outdoor space and transport links, and who are comfortable investing in modest improvements to increase comfort and value.
