This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Woodford Green offers a compact, well-lit living space ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into a desirable area. The living room benefits from dual-aspect windows and an open-plan kitchen that maximise natural light. A double bedroom has built-in wardrobes and large windows; there is also a useful entrance hallway storage cupboard. One allocated off-street parking space is included.
Practical running costs are reasonable: service charge is about £1,200 per year, council tax band B is described as cheap, and there is no ground rent. The lease is exceptionally long (988 years) and tenure is share of freehold, which reduces long-term leasehold risk. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, and the neighbourhood records low crime and high local affluence.
Note the flat is small (approximately 410 sq ft) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which may be less efficient than gas central heating and could affect winter running costs. The building dates from the early 1990s and glazing is double glazed, though installation dates are unspecified. The property appears well-presented but offers limited space, so it suits a single occupant, couple, or an investor targeting rental demand rather than someone needing larger family accommodation.
Location is a genuine strength: Woodford Green has strong schools nearby, good local amenities and regular bus links, making this a convenient commuter-friendly choice. For buyers seeking a modest, low-risk purchase with long lease security and parking, this property merits a viewing; those needing more living space or mains gas heating should consider alternatives.
