Compact, characterful one-bed near Jubilee line — chain free and long lease.
Bright raised ground-floor flat with high ceilings and sash bay window
A bright raised-ground floor one-bedroom in a converted Victorian house, this compact apartment makes the most of period proportions: high ceilings, a large sash bay and wooden floors create airy, characterful living space. The main living room stretches to about 17'7, and the bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe — practical for city living.
Location is a strong practical benefit: Jubilee line 0.1 miles away, London Overground 0.2 miles and additional rail links within walking distance. Local shops, cafés and fast transport make this an easy base for commuting or rental income; broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent.
The flat is chain free with a long lease (original 999 years from 1989), low service charge (£500pa) and small ground rent (£50pa). Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the EPC is currently C, so running costs are moderate and insulation/upgrades are possible.
Important constraints: the apartment is small at 397 sq ft and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which can limit thermal performance. The local area is marked as deprived with above-average crime statistics — factors to weigh for families or those seeking a quieter neighbourhood. Overall, this is a good entry-level city home or buy-to-let with clear strengths and a few practical limitations to consider.
