Top-floor one-bedroom apartment in a private development beside the River Lea, offered chain-free with a long extended lease (174 years) and no ground rent. The flat is larger than many in the block and includes a useful private loft storage space, secure entry, and two off-street permit parking spaces. An open-plan living/dining/kitchen with multiple south-facing windows brings light into the layout and provides straightforward, low-maintenance living for a first-time buyer or couple.
Practical running costs and considerations are clear: heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas central heating), and the service charge is approximately £175pcm (about £2,100pa). The apartment has double glazing and hard wooden floors throughout that can be refreshed if desired. The long lease and zero ground rent are strong ownership advantages compared with many nearby flats.
Location is a key selling point for those who value green space and transport. Riverside and Walthamstow Marsh nature reserve are moments away for walking and wildlife; Clapton Station is about 0.6 miles (good links into central London, with Liverpool Street reachable in around 15–25 minutes depending on route). Local shops, pubs and cafés are within easy reach, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Buyers should note the inner-city setting: the wider area has pockets of deprivation and average crime levels. The apartment is well-presented and move-in ready, but heating is electric and running costs should be considered. Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance city home with riverside benefits and long lease security.
