About 691 sq ft internal area

Area classed as deprived — consider long-term growth factors
Set on the first floor of a Victorian mid-terrace, this two-bedroom conversion offers a practical step onto the property ladder or a straightforward investment with immediate rental appeal. The flat measures about 691 sq ft and centres around a bright reception and a generous kitchen/diner finished with contemporary fittings. A sleek three-piece bathroom completes the accommodation.
Practical strengths include a long lease of about 106–107 years remaining, low annual ground rent (£100), chain-free sale and good transport links (Manor Park Elizabeth Line, Woodgrange Overground). Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local parks such as Plashet Park and Wanstead Flats are within walking distance, adding outdoor space for families and commuters.
As a period conversion, the building’s solid brick construction means character, but it also suggests older walls with no confirmed built-in insulation. Buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades and routine upkeep typical of older homes. The wider area is classed as deprived, which may affect longer-term capital growth compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
This flat suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home close to excellent transport, or investors looking for a lettable two-bed in a well-connected part of E7. It is presented in good order but offers scope for cosmetic improvement or efficiency upgrades to add value.
