Summary - 20 Aaron Hill Road E6 6NJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact second-floor flat with parking, walking distance to Beckton DLR.
Chain-free with a very long lease (972 years)
Chain-free and offered with an exceptionally long lease (972 years), this one-bedroom flat on Aaron Hill Road is a practical entry point to East London living. The second-floor, purpose-built apartment provides a generous reception room with dual-aspect windows that deliver good natural light, a separate/small open-plan kitchen, double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. At around 557 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, low-hassle home.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, double glazing (pre-2002) and useful built-in storage. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property runs on mains electricity; buyers should note ongoing energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Ground rent is stated at £326 (average), and council tax is described as cheap.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Beckton DLR for links into Canary Wharf and the City, close to Gallions Reach retail park, local supermarkets and green space at Beckton Park. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which may appeal to families or those planning to rent to local professionals and students.
Notable negatives are factual: the area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, so buyers should consider local safety and community factors. The property uses electric heating and double glazing installed before 2002, so some modernisation or efficiency upgrades could be worthwhile. Overall this is a sensible, low-risk purchase for purchasers prioritising transport links, a long lease and a chain-free sale.
