A bright, newly renovated one-bedroom apartment on the second floor, ideal for a first-time buyer or commuter. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen benefits from large windows and French doors that lead to a private balcony with extensive views — a pleasant spot for evening relaxation. Integrated kitchen appliances and a utility cupboard add practical, move-in-ready convenience.
Practical ownership details are straightforward: a long lease (245 years remaining from 2020) and no ground rent. The service charge averages £1,457.37 and includes building insurance; buyers should confirm service charge and lease details with their solicitor before exchange. Gas central heating with a modern boiler and radiators provides reliable warmth.
Location is strongly commuter-focused: Carpenders Park Overground Station and local shops, supermarket, gym and pool are within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are good. Nearby primary schools include two rated Outstanding, which could suit buyers planning for family needs in future.
Be candid about the neighbourhood context: the area is classified as constrained/hampered with high local crime and significant deprivation indicators. That affects resale dynamics and may concern some buyers; for others the long lease, low entry price and rental potential could present value opportunity. Viewing will show whether the setting and convenience outweigh these wider-area factors for your plans.
