Well-presented 2-bed conversion near Leyton Midland Road — long lease and low running costs.
783 sq ft split-level first-floor conversion
Bright, split-level conversion in a Victorian mid-terrace, this well-presented first-floor flat offers 783 sq ft of adaptable living. The living room is light-filled with large windows and wooden shutters; the larger bedroom occupies the loft level and includes an ensuite and a Juliette balcony. A contemporary kitchen and a fully tiled main bathroom complete the accommodation.
Practical running costs are reasonable: double glazing, mains gas central heating, an EPC C (72), council tax band B and a long lease of 118 years. There is no service charge and ground rent is modest at £200 per annum. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working, while Leyton Midland Road Overground (0.2 mile) and Leytonstone Tube (0.6 mile) put central London within easy reach.
Buyers should note a few material points: parking is on-street by permit only, the building’s solid brick walls appear uninsulated (opportunity to improve energy efficiency), and local crime levels are above average. The flat is leasehold — check lease details and any past alterations with your solicitor before exchange.
This property suits first-time buyers or young couples wanting a ready-to-move-in home close to Francis Road’s cafés and shops, with scope to add value through targeted improvements such as insulation or cosmetic updates. With a generous internal footprint and commuter links, it balances immediate comfort and longer-term potential.
