This chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a compact, well-presented home or rental opportunity in central Waltham Abbey. The flat measures about 509 sq ft and includes a good-sized lounge/diner, modern kitchen and bathroom, and unusually large built-in storage for the size. Communal off-street parking and proximity to a leisure centre add practical everyday benefits.
Practical details matter: the property is leasehold with 101 years remaining and a service charge of £67.03 pcm (approx. £804.36 pa, includes ground rent). Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, and the building has double glazing installed before 2002. The apartment block dates from the 1950s–1960s and offers straightforward mid-century accommodation rather than high-spec finishes.
Be upfront about the area and maintenance: this address sits in a deprived, multi-ethnic neighbourhood with above-average local crime rates and limited insulation in cavity walls (as built). These factors affect long-term desirability and may influence mortgage or letting yield considerations. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and transport links to London are convenient for commuters.
Suitable buyers are first-time purchasers seeking an affordable entry into ownership or investors targeting a low-maintenance rental. The flat is ready to live in or let, but there is scope to add value through cosmetic updates and improved thermal performance if desired.
