Ready-to-move-in two-bedroom close to transport and parks.
• Private west-facing section of garden
• Short walk to Lea Bridge station and green spaces
• Newly renovated interior with period features retained
• Compact footprint — approx. 700 sq ft, cosy rooms
• Leasehold with c.143 years remaining

This neatly presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers an attractive starter home in Leyton, combining period character with recent updates. The reception room is bright and well-proportioned and the property benefits from a private, west-facing section of garden — a rare outside space for a first-floor flat. Lea Bridge station and green spaces including Hackney Marshes are within easy walking distance, making commuting and weekend walks straightforward.
The flat has been newly renovated so fixtures and finishes are up to date, and the layout works well for a couple or single buyer seeking practical, low-maintenance urban living. The building retains original Warner-era features that add character alongside contemporary kitchen and bathroom fittings. Total accommodation is compact (around 700 sq ft) with a single bathroom and a modest kitchen, so expect cosy living rather than generous proportions.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (about 143 years remaining) and was formerly council stock; council tax is low. There is a high local flooding risk flagged for the area — buyers should seek specialist advice and insurance quotes. The building is solid brick with assumed limited wall insulation, which may be a consideration for future energy improvements.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting a characterful, ready-to-move-in home close to good transport links and parks. It presents immediate liveability with scope for small cosmetic tweaks or energy upgrades over time.
