Summary - 288 MARKHOUSE ROAD LONDON E17 8EF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ground-floor two-bed with large west-facing garden and long lease.
Approx. 720 sq ft of living space
Bright and well-proportioned, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette combines period character with contemporary finishes across approximately 720 sq ft. Large bay windows fill the living room with natural light, while two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom provide comfortable everyday living. The property is chain free with a long 137-year lease and peppercorn ground rent, removing common first-time buyer barriers.
A real outdoor bonus is the 40ft rear garden with a westerly aspect, offering afternoon and evening sun — ideal for entertaining, gardening or creating a private play area. The fitted kitchen and good ceiling heights keep the accommodation feeling fresh and practical. Local transport links are strong: Lea Bridge and St. James Street stations provide quick connections to Stratford and Liverpool Street.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the building is solid-brick with no known insulation, glazing install dates are not recorded, and the main heating is a gas boiler with radiators. The neighbourhood is lively and convenient but records above-average local crime and sits in a relatively deprived area, which may affect resale or rental expectations. EPC C and Council Tax band B reflect middling running costs.
For first-time buyers seeking a characterful, move-in-ready home with outdoor space and long lease security, this property offers straightforward value and upgrade potential. Sensible improvements — such as insulation, window checks and targeted cosmetic updating — could increase comfort and future resale appeal.
