Compact period flat with garden and strong transport links—ideal first purchase.
Private rear garden—uncommon for a small flat
A compact one-bedroom flat set within a Victorian mid-terrace on High Road, Leytonstone. The apartment is presented in good, lived-in condition with a bright living room, bay window, fireplace and built-in shelving, making it ready to occupy while offering scope to personalise. A private rear garden provides useful outdoor space unusual for a flat of this size.
The location is a major selling point: immediate access to shops, cafés and local amenities along the High Road, plus straightforward links to Central London via Leytonstone Underground. Nearby primary and secondary schools all hold Good Ofsted ratings, which will appeal to buyers planning longer-term stays in the area.
Practical details are straightforward but important: the property is leasehold with about 84 years remaining, a modest ground rent (£150 pa) and a below-average service charge (£200 pa). Built before 1900 with solid brick walls and likely no cavity insulation, the home has double glazing installed post-2002 and mains gas central heating installed via boiler and radiators.
Be aware of neighbourhood factors that could influence living experience and value: recorded crime is above average and the wider area scores as deprived. The EPC status is not provided, so buyers should arrange an inspection and check energy performance and any necessary upgrades to insulation or services.
