This two-bedroom ground-floor garden flat on Francis Road offers generous living space (approx. 798 sq ft) and a long lease (113 years). The southwest-facing private garden and modern fitted kitchen provide immediate everyday comfort, while original Victorian character remains in the façade and interior details. A cellar/basement provides useful storage not included in the main living area.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing, no reported flood risk, cheap council tax and fast broadband/mobile. The flat sits 0.43 miles from Leyton Underground Station and close to Francis Road’s cafés, shops and schools, making it well placed for first-time buyers seeking local amenities and a short commute into the city.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the property is leasehold with a ground rent of £200pa, and the building is a solid-brick Victorian construction likely without cavity wall insulation. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high; buyers should satisfy themselves on safety and insurance implications. There are no reported service charges per the vendor, but all lease details and charges should be checked by a solicitor.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer prioritising location, outdoor space and character with a long lease; it also presents modest scope for energy improvements (insulation) and refurbishment to increase value. Buyers should commission a survey to check structure, insulation and basement condition before exchange.
