Summary - 157, Folkestone Road E6 6AZ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact starter flat beside park, ready for modernisation and rental potential.
Long lease of about 100 years
A compact one-bedroom flat on the second floor of a 1930s mansion-style ex-authority block, offered with a long lease of about 100 years. The building’s Art Deco brick exterior and central communal stairwell give real period character, and the flat benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Positioned directly beside the recently upgraded Gooseley Playing Fields and with frequent buses to East Ham and Beckton stations, this property suits a practical first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking immediate rental appeal. Communal outside space is maintained and entry is secure; local shops and bus stops are within walking distance.
The accommodation is small (approximately 434 sq ft) and presented in dated condition, so the flat will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Broadband speeds in the area are slow; mobile signal is excellent. Other notable points are a low flood risk, cheap council tax, a modest ground rent of £10, and a high-crime score for the wider area — factors to consider for families or those sensitive to neighbourhood safety.
Overall, this is a keenly priced starter home or investment with long lease security and direct access to green space. It offers scope to add value through sensible updating but requires practical buyers who accept its size and local challenges.
