This one-bedroom leasehold flat sits on High Road in Leytonstone within a Victorian mid-terrace building. The apartment is compact and well presented, with a bay-windowed living room, fitted shelving, a double bedroom with built-in storage and a private rear garden — a rare external space for a flat of this size. The property benefits from double glazing (installed after 2002), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and direct access to local shops, cafés and Leytonstone Underground Station for Central London commutes.
Practical details matter: the lease has approximately 84 years remaining, ground rent is £150 per year and the service charge is about £200 per year. Council tax is described as low, and the overall running costs are likely modest; however a full EPC is awaited and an internal inspection should confirm condition and layout. The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with assumed little insulation — there is scope for energy-efficiency improvements.
This home is best suited to a first-time buyer or single occupant/couple seeking an affordable entry into east London with scope to personalise. It’s compact, so it will appeal to those prioritising location and low ongoing costs over generous living space. Note the wider area shows above-average crime levels and relative deprivation; buyers should weigh local safety and community factors alongside convenient transport and amenities.
