Summary - 39 STARCH HOUSE LANE ILFORD IG6 1PU
2 bed 1 bath Ground Maisonette
Two-bedroom blank canvas close to Fairlop station and parks.
Chain-free ground-floor maisonette with private rear garden
A ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offering 624 sq ft of living space and a private rear garden. Chain-free sale with a long lease of 135 years and low ground rent of £122 per year (index-linked). The property has an EPC rating of C and mains gas central heating.
Accommodation is generous for the footprint: two double bedrooms, a spacious lounge with natural light, separate kitchen and a sizeable bathroom. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable home to personalise; the property does, however, require modernisation throughout, offering clear scope to add value.
Location is a strong practical selling point. Fairlop Central Line station is a short walk away with fast connections to Stratford and Liverpool Street; Barkingside High Street, local schools and Fairlop Waters Country Park are all within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, making the maisonette suitable for remote working.
Notable negatives are factual: the home needs renovation, the surrounding area records higher crime levels, and the lease is held as leasehold with a ground rent that increases with RPI. There is no service charge, which reduces ongoing management costs, but buyers should budget for upgrade works and consider local safety measures.
