This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in a modern purpose-built development just 0.5 miles from Manor Park station (Elizabeth Line), offering easy commutes into central London and Canary Wharf. The bright lounge/dining room with Juliet balcony, two double bedrooms and allocated off-street parking give practical everyday comfort for first-time buyers or buy-to-let landlords.
The flat benefits from a long lease (100 years remaining), double glazing, communal gardens and an entry phone security system. Running essentials: electric storage heaters, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Service charge (£1,559.74 pa) and ground rent (£120 pa) apply — factor these into your running costs.
Notable drawbacks are the local context: the area is classified as deprived with a high crime rate, which may affect resale and rental demand. The building is timber-frame construction (assumed) and the heating is electric storage, which can be more expensive than gas central heating.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located apartment for a first-time buyer seeking transport links, or an investor targeting steady rental demand near the Elizabeth Line. The property offers immediate occupation potential with scope for light cosmetic updating to maximise rental or resale value.
