This smartly finished two-bedroom first-floor flat offers a compact, modern living space in Leytonstone, within walking distance of Stratford and Westfield. The open-plan reception/kitchen and two double bedrooms make it a practical home for first-time buyers or sharers seeking easy access to central transport links and local amenities.
At about 579 sq ft, the apartment is efficiently laid out and benefits from double glazing installed post-2002 and mains gas central heating. Local schools are rated Good and a wide range of shops, eateries and leisure facilities sit close by, making daily life straightforward and convenient.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property in a historically built terrace (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. The wider area scores as deprived and local crime levels are high, which may affect resale considerations and running a household vehicle. The flat is small overall, so consider storage and space needs before viewing.
Overall this is a value-oriented purchase for a buyer prioritising location and finished interiors over large floor area. It suits someone who wants move-in ready accommodation close to transport and shopping, and who is comfortable with leasehold ownership and the neighbourhood trade-offs.
