This chain-free ground-floor maisonette offers a compact, characterful home in lively Walthamstow, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The Warner-style property retains period appeal with a bay-windowed reception room and a private section of rear garden accessed from the kitchen. With 137 years remaining on the lease, long-term ownership is straightforward.
The flat is modest in size (around 549 sq ft) and laid out conventionally: reception room, two bedrooms, a small kitchen and bathroom. Practical benefits include side access, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuting or working from home — plus close proximity to Lea Bridge Road station, Westfield shops within walking distance and the Cycle Superhighway.
Buyers should note material negatives factually: the property sits in an area with above-average crime and high flood risk, and the wider neighbourhood scores as deprived. The rear garden area is currently not separated from neighbours and the internal footprint is small, which limits extension potential without consent. These factors affect suitability and insurance/maintenance costs.
Overall this maisonette represents an accessible entry to E17: good transport links, long lease and private outdoor space are strengths, while flood risk, local area challenges and limited internal space are realistic constraints to factor into purchase and ongoing costs.
