Light-filled home with private deck and a long lease, ideal for first-time buyers.
Moments from Forest Gate Station (Elizabeth Line)
A bright one-bedroom apartment on the upper ground floor of a handsome Victorian terrace, offered with a long lease and immediate access to the Elizabeth Line at Forest Gate. The reception feels airy thanks to high ceilings, a feature fireplace and a wide bay window that fills the room with light. The kitchen opens to a private decked veranda — a rare outdoor spot for this type and a useful extension of living space.
The flat was refurbished about seven years ago and presents in generally good decorative order. Built-in wardrobes in the bedroom provide strong storage, and the bathroom and kitchen are modern and functional. At 488 sq ft, the layout suits a single buyer or couple, and the long lease (approximately 189 years remaining) removes a common purchase barrier.
Practical points to note: the building is solid-brick Victorian with no known insulating cavity, double-glazing installation date is unknown, and heating is gas boiler with radiators. Parking is on-street by permit. Local crime levels and wider area deprivation are higher than average, so buyers should consider security and long-term neighbourhood trends when deciding.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking convenient transport links to central London or an investor targeting steady rental demand close to the Elizabeth Line. Service charge details are TBC; purchasers should check running costs and communal arrangements before committing.
