Compact, modern two-bedroom flat off Francis Road — move-in ready and chain free.
Chain free, newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor flat
A freshly finished two-bedroom first-floor flat just off Leyton’s lively Francis Road, offered chain free and ready to move into. The apartment has been recently refurbished with a neutral grey-and-white palette, a modern kitchen with gas hob, and a sleek bathroom with large-format tiles. At approximately 480 sq ft this is a compact home designed for efficient living rather than spacious entertaining.
Location is the main draw: independent cafes, delis and community amenities on Francis Road are a few steps away, with Leyton Midland Overground and Leyton tube within easy walking distance (Leyton tube ~15 minutes). Nearby green spaces include Jubilee Park and Hackney Marshes. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Practical details are straightforward: leasehold with about 125 years remaining, a below-average service charge (£850), mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. There’s no flood risk recorded, and the property sits in a red-brick Victorian terrace with period character retained in the exterior and bay windows.
Important drawbacks to note plainly: the overall living area is small at roughly 480 sq ft so room sizes are compact; there is a single bathroom; local crime levels are above average. The flat will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, move-in-ready starter home or a buy-to-let opportunity in a popular local parade, but it is not a fit for those needing larger living spaces or gardens.
