Bright two-bedroom Victorian conversion with garden access, minutes from South Woodford tube..
Direct access to large south-facing communal garden
A bright, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in a converted Victorian terrace, offering direct access to a large south-facing communal garden. High ceilings and a generous bay window bring character and natural light to the principal bedroom and living room. The layout feels more like a house than a flat, with a 210 sq ft reception that opens onto the lawn — ideal for buyers who value outdoor space in London.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (113 years remaining), affordable ground rent (£25) and an annual service charge around £1,500. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are in place, though the building’s solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect energy efficiency and future heating bills. The property is average in overall size (approx. 665 sq ft) but well-proportioned.
Location is a clear selling point — ten minutes’ walk to South Woodford Central line, five minutes to George Lane’s shops, cafes and pubs, and immediate access to Epping Forest. That mix suits first-time buyers seeking local amenities or investors targeting reliable rental demand. Note: the local area records higher crime levels than average, so buyers should consider security measures and local research.
This apartment is ready to live in but has scope for cosmetic updating (kitchen and bathroom are tidy but not new). Its combination of period features, outside space and transport links makes it a sensible long-term purchase for those prioritising location and community over a turnkey, fully modernised finish.
