Summary - Ground Floor Flat, 68 Markhouse Avenue E17 8AZ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain free ground-floor Victorian conversion with private rear garden
A compact ground-floor Victorian conversion with a private rear garden and high ceilings, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking refurbishment potential. The bright double bedroom features a bay window and built-in storage; the open reception benefits from original ceiling heights and generous natural light. The kitchen leads directly to the sole-use garden, currently overgrown but spacious for outdoor seating or landscaping.
The flat is chain free and ready to rework: accommodation measures about 380 sq ft, with opportunities to reconfigure and add value. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed (install date unknown). The property is leasehold with 92 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £40.
Location is a practical selling point — a short walk to St. James Street Overground (around 20 minutes to central London) and close to a range of shops, cafés and local amenities. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, and the area records low local crime and no flood risk.
Important considerations: the building dates from 1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, and the flat is small in size. The neighbourhood is in a more deprived area historically, which may affect long-term resale timing. Buyers should budget for updating and possible energy-efficiency improvements.
