This two-bedroom apartment in Axon Place offers a practical, move-in-ready home in the heart of Ilford. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a bright, flexible living space across about 695 sq ft, suitable for a first home or shared living. Finished to a good standard with double glazing and mains gas central heating, it minimises immediate upkeep.
The property sits in a gated development on Ilford High Road, around 0.4 miles from Ilford station for fast links into central London. Shops, cafés and local amenities are all on the doorstep, while broadband and mobile signals are strong – useful for remote working or streaming. There is an option to buy outright or take 30% shared ownership (example 30% share priced at £78,000), which can lower the initial cost for buyers getting onto the ladder.
Buyers should note the running costs: an above-average service charge (£4,116 pa / £343 pcm) and average ground rent (£280 pa). The lease is healthy (around 116 years remaining). The local area is described as cosmopolitan and affluent with good schools nearby, but recorded crime levels are very high — consider personal security measures despite the gated setting.
Overall this apartment represents a realistic first-step purchase with strong transport links and low immediate refurbishment needs. It will suit buyers prioritising location and convenience, but factor in the service charge and local safety environment when budgeting and viewing.
