Chain-free one-bedroom with leafy second-floor outlook and quick rail links.
Allocated off-street parking included — rare local convenience
This second-floor one-bedroom flat on Elderberry Way offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase with allocated off-street parking — a rare convenience in this area. The reception room is bright and overlooks mature trees, creating a calm, leafy aspect. At about 497 sq ft the layout is practical: hallway storage, a well-proportioned reception, a compact kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes.
The home suits a first-time buyer seeking easy access to central London: it’s roughly ten minutes by bus to East Ham station (Zone 3) with District and Hammersmith & City line services into the city. Local amenities, parks and good-rated schools are within walking distance, and the A13/North Circular are close for drivers. The flat is offered chain free and with 105 years remaining on the lease, allowing for a relatively quick move.
Be upfront about ongoing costs and some limitations: heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the annual service charge and ground rent are notable (circa £1,800 and £250 respectively). The neighbourhood records above-average crime and is classed as a deprived area, which may concern some buyers. Despite being well maintained, the property’s modest size and electric heating mean it’s best suited to someone prioritising convenience and a low-hassle purchase rather than a long-term family home.
For buyers aiming to let, the combination of transport links, nearby green space and allocated parking supports rental demand. For owner-occupiers, the flat provides a practical, move-in-ready base with scope to personalise the kitchen and bathroom over time.
