Bright and well-proportioned, this two-bedroom Victorian ground-floor conversion combines period detail with contemporary fittings. The bay-fronted principal bedroom and high ceilings give a sense of space, while the open-plan lounge/kitchen with bi-folding doors opens onto a long, landscaped rear garden — rare for a flat of this size. A cellar offers useful storage, and a 20-year damp-proofing warranty is in place for added reassurance.
Practical aspects suit first-time buyers: a long lease (149 years remaining), no ground rent and no service charge are strong tenure features, and both Walthamstow Central and Blackhorse Road stations are a short 0.6-mile walk. The interior is about 690 sq ft (64 sq m) — comfortable for a couple or small family — and local amenities, cafes and green spaces are all close by.
Buyers should note a few material facts. The EPC rating is E (51), and the building’s original solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs and scope for energy upgrades. The property sits in an area recorded as having very high crime levels and is classified broadly as deprived; prospective purchasers should factor local conditions into their decision.
There is potential upside: the long garden, cellar and the option to negotiate a freehold purchase present scope to increase value. Overall this is a practical, characterful flat with immediate move-in appeal and clear improvement opportunities for those willing to invest in insulation or energy efficiency works.
