This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Westleigh Court is designed specifically for residents aged 55 and above. Chain free and set in a popular warden-controlled development, it offers easy, step-free access to Wanstead High Street and both Central Line stations a short walk away. On-site communal facilities include a residents’ lounge with church and High Street views, laundry services, a visitors’ suite and a well-tended communal garden — practical comforts for retirement living.
Internally the apartment provides a generous reception room open to a compact kitchen and a double bedroom. The layout is traditional and straightforward, with a large entrance storage cupboard and a bathroom off the hall. Windows were upgraded to double glazing after 2002 and there is no flood risk. The property is electrically heated via storage heaters and runs on mains electricity rather than a communal system.
Buyers should note material considerations: the lease has 89 years remaining and service/maintenance charges are to be confirmed. The interior shows signs of age and will benefit from updating and modest redecoration — carpets, fixtures and some fittings are dated. The property sits in an area with above-average recorded crime, which prospective purchasers may wish to factor into their decision.
This apartment suits a downsizer or retiree seeking a central Wanstead base with on-site support and social facilities, who is happy to carry out light modernisation. Its location, ground-floor convenience and chain-free status make it straightforward to move into, while the remaining lease length and running costs should be considered before purchase.
