Transport and local amenities are strong selling points: Mile End, Devons Road and Poplar stations are all within walking distance, with shops, schools and green spaces close by. The lease has 101 years remaining, the annual service charge is modest at £2,309 and ground rent is £10, providing certainty for buyers concerned about running costs.
There are a few practical points to note. The property was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls with no confirmed added insulation, which may mean energy upgrades are worthwhile. The wider neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation; crime is average. The layout is traditional and the house presents good potential for targeted refurbishment to improve energy efficiency and modernise finishes.
Overall this is a sensible family-buy or buy-to-let opportunity for buyers seeking space and a garden within easy reach of central London. Expect some cosmetic updating and potential insulation or efficiency improvements to maximise long-term comfort and value.
