This ground-floor period conversion on Selsdon Road offers a compact, light-filled two-bedroom home ideal for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with a front bay window creates a bright, sociable heart to the property, while a private strip garden with side access adds outdoor space that is rare for flats at this price. The main bedroom benefits from a fully tiled en-suite plus direct garden access, and there is a second double bedroom and separate family bathroom.
The apartment is chain-free and comes with a lease that will be extended to 160 years on completion, giving long-term security. Practical details include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working. Wanstead Central Line station is just 0.4 miles away, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the flat is compact at about 516 sq ft, so space is best for a small family, sharers or an investor targeting strong rental demand. The building’s solid-brick construction (typical of 1900–1929 homes) means walls likely lack cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements may be worth planning. Annual costs are modest but present: a service charge of £350 and ground rent of £350.
Overall this property is a straightforward, well-located option for someone seeking affordable access to Wanstead’s transport links, schools and high street amenities. It suits a buyer who values location and ready-to-live-in presentation but is comfortable with a compact footprint and potential modest upgrading for insulation or personalised finishes.
