Summary - Manford Way, IG7 4JL IG7 4JL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, move-in ready flat with excellent commuter connections and long lease.
Ground-floor apartment — easy access, low maintenance
Bright ground-floor living in Chigwell offers low-maintenance convenience and clear commuter appeal. The apartment’s modern kitchen and updated bathroom make it move-in ready for an individual or couple, while the compact layout keeps running costs low.
Transport links are a genuine strength: easy access to the M11, A406 and nearby Chigwell Central Line station make daily commutes straightforward. The building sits close to shops, cafes and green space, including Hainault Forest Country Park — useful for leisure and families with young children.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the 954-year lease removes typical lease-length worries, and council tax is low. However, the flat is small (approximately 36 sqm / 388 sq ft), broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the immediate area is classified as deprived with average crime levels. These factors affect suitability for those needing fast home-working connections or more space.
For first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, this apartment presents a sensible entry point to the Chigwell market. It suits buyers prioritising transport links and low upkeep; those seeking larger living areas, high-speed internet or a more affluent pocket of Chigwell should factor in the compromises.
