A ground-floor one-bedroom flat set within a Victorian mid-terrace, offering a compact but practical 503 sq ft layout. The home benefits from a long lease (around 178 years), private rear garden and off-street parking — rare features for a flat in this part of Ilford. Good transport links, including Ilford station and Crossrail, make central London commutes straightforward.
The flat retains period character such as a bay window and high ceilings in parts of the building, and has gas central heating with double glazing. Council tax is low, and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong — practical advantages for a first home or buy-to-let. The construction is solid brick (typical of 1900–1929 builds), giving the property inherent character and potential to improve thermal performance.
The property will suit a buyer happy to modernise: some rooms need updating and the building’s walls are assumed to lack insulation. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels — important to factor into living or rental decisions. Overall, this is a reasonably priced entry into Ilford with scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
