A compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat offering straightforward, low-maintenance living with direct access to a communal garden and an allocated parking space. The living room is generous for the size, with patio doors bringing natural light; built-in storage helps maximise usable space. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable, and nearby schools and transport links suit first-time buyers and commuters.
Important lease and financing information: the property is leasehold with 67 years remaining. That remaining term is low enough that some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend without lease extension, so buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice and factor in the cost and process of extending the lease. The EPC is currently TBC and a survey is recommended before purchase.
Practical considerations include a medium flood risk in the area and above-average local crime levels; buyers should check insurance costs and local safety measures. The flat’s compact overall size (approximately 564 sq ft) suits those seeking an affordable entry into the area or an investor after a manageable, lettable property, but it will feel small for families needing more space.
With sensible expectations, this flat represents an economical purchase close to the M25 and Waltham Cross rail links. It’s best for first-time buyers, commuters, or investors prepared to manage lease issues and accept a modest-sized home in a well-connected neighbourhood.
