This ground-floor two-bedroom flat combines genuine period character with practical modern living. The bay-fronted lounge and high ceilings give an airy feel, while a private rear garden offers outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining — rare for a flat in Leytonstone.
Location is a clear strength: Leytonstone Underground (Central Line) and the Overground are within easy reach, making central London commutes straightforward. Local cafés, shops and green spaces including Hollow Ponds and Epping Forest are nearby, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within walking distance.
The property is leasehold with 98 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £60. It measures around 863 sq ft — an average sized, practical layout with two bedrooms and one bathroom suited to first-time buyers or couples seeking room to grow. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the area records low crime and relatively affluent local indicators.
Practical considerations: the building is solid-brick and likely lacks cavity insulation, and the double glazing’s installation date is unknown — both factors could mean future energy-efficiency improvements. There is a single bathroom, and some cosmetic updating may be desired to personalise the space. Council tax is described as affordable.
