Low-entry purchase with renovation potential close to Manor Park station.
Chain free ground-floor one-bedroom flat, guide price £225,000
This chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Manor Park at a guide price of £225,000. Set within a mid-20th-century terrace, the 589 sq ft layout includes a living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and shared rear garden. It sits about a nine-minute walk from Manor Park station with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — good for commuting or renting.
The building retains period touches such as a bay window and mid-century fireplace, but the flat requires modernization throughout: cosmetic refurbishment, kitchen and bathroom updating, and likely repair work to fixtures. EPC rating D and standard ceiling heights reflect the current condition. Leaseholders should note 88 years remain on the lease; there is no ground rent or service charge currently reported, but buyers must verify lease details with their solicitor.
This property will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with clear scope to add value through renovation. Local amenities, several good primary and secondary schools nearby, and convenient transport links are genuine strengths. Be aware the local area scores as deprived and crime is average, which may affect resale or rental considerations.
Practical points to confirm at offer stage: accurate lease and tenure details, any planning or building regulation history for alterations, and actual condition of heating, electrics and appliances. The flat presents a straightforward refurbishment project with strong transport links and affordable running costs (Council Tax Band B).
