Situated in a quiet Ilford development, this one-bedroom flat offers practical, low-maintenance living and strong commuter appeal. The separate fitted kitchen and a bright living room make the 484 sq ft layout feel spacious for daily life. Its proximity to Hainault and Chigwell Central Line stations suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking reliable rental demand.
The flat sits on a long lease (approx. 116 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £1,200 and a ground rent of £10. Council tax is described as cheap and there is no flooding risk. The building dates to the mid-20th century and benefits from a communal garden; the property appears well-presented internally but buyers should verify condition and utilities during viewing.
Local amenities, parks and several ‘Good’-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, supporting both family rental interest and owner-occupiers. Average local crime and an established renting-families demographic mean steady demand rather than premium exclusivity. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, reinforcing the flat’s suitability for commuters and remote workers.
Practical considerations: this is a leasehold flat with regular service charge reviews and a modest ground rent; factor ongoing costs into affordability and rental calculations. For first-time buyers or investors wanting an immediately lettable, well-located one-bedroom near central London links, this presents a straightforward, low-maintenance opportunity.
