Compact, commuter-friendly flat close to Waltham Cross station.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat, 377 sq ft (compact)
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom flat on the first floor, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into EN8. The open-plan living space makes efficient use of 377 sq ft and benefits from natural light and hardwood floors, ready to personalise without major work.
Location is a clear strength: a short walk to Waltham Cross Overground station with quick links to Tottenham Hale and Liverpool Street, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for commuters and hybrid workers. The long lease (960 years) gives security for mortgage lenders and future buyers.
Buyers should note several practical realities: the flat is electrically heated with storage heaters, has a medium flood risk, and sits in a broadly deprived area within a constrained neighbourhood classification. Service charge and ground rent are modest (£1,360 pa average service charge; £50 ground rent), and council tax is low.
This is a straightforward, low-maintenance home or rental investment for someone who values transport links and low upfront purchase friction. The building’s 1980s exterior is dated but the interior is well presented; minimal cosmetic updating could add value for resale or letting.
