Long lease, garden and easy transport links — ideal for first-time buyers ready to modernise..
Own private garden, rare for a flat
A bright, spacious three-bedroom first-floor maisonette with the rare benefit of its own garden and a lease in excess of 900 years. Set off Green Street, the flat feels surprisingly airy and well presented, with double-glazed windows and gas central heating providing immediate comfort.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking space and value in Forest Gate. The property offers clear scope to modernise — the kitchen is dated and would benefit from updating, and there is a single bathroom serving three bedrooms. The building’s solid-brick construction presents retrofit potential (insulation, energy improvements) to raise comfort and future saleability.
Location is a practical asset: short walks to local shops, plentiful amenities, frequent bus routes and Upton Park station nearby for Tube access; Stratford Westfield is a short ride away. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making local schooling straightforward.
Buyers should note factual drawbacks: an EPC rating of E and the local area’s high crime and deprivation indicators. These factors may influence insurance, resale speed and renovation costs. Overall, this maisonette offers long-lease security, outside space and clear value-added potential for someone willing to invest in modernisation.
