2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Edwardian ground-floor two-bed with long garden and powered outbuilding, near Walthamstow Central..
Two double bedrooms with bespoke fitted storage
Approx. 66ft mature rear garden with powered outbuilding
Share of freehold; lease approx. 84 years remaining
Compact overall size — about 599 sq ft (small)
Older double glazing (pre-2002) and likely uninsulated solid walls
Some exterior timber/stucco weathering needs attention
Potential to extend subject to planning (not confirmed)
Gas central heating and modern fitted bathroom
This two-double-bedroom ground-floor flat sits in a handsome Edwardian terrace on Westbury Road, offering a rare long rear garden of approximately 66ft and a powered outbuilding useful as a home office or studio. The apartment keeps character with sash windows, a bay-windowed living room and original fireplace, while providing modern convenience with a fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and gas central heating.
The property is compact at around 599 sq ft and is best suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking an immediately habitable flat with scope to add value. A valuable share of freehold provides tenure security; the current lease has about 84 years remaining and ground rent is £220 per year. There is reported potential to extend subject to planning, though permissions are not confirmed and would need formal checks.
Practical considerations include solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, older double glazing installed before 2002, and some external timber and stucco elements that show weathering and may need minor refurbishment. The internal layout is efficient but narrow, so planned reconfiguration or modest modernisation could improve space use and value.
Location is a major strength: quiet residential street a short walk from Walthamstow Central’s Victoria Line and Overground services, the market, shops and cafes. Low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it convenient for commuting and flexible home working.
