Set within a quiet residential development off Sewardstone Road, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living for first-time buyers or investors. The 540 sq ft layout includes a bright reception room, a modern fitted kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. Double glazing (post-2002) and a gas central heating system provide year-round comfort.
Practicalities are clear: the property is leasehold with 143 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,600 pa and a modest ground rent of £150 pa. Off-street shared parking and attractive communal gardens add convenience, while an EPC rating of C reflects reasonable energy efficiency for its age (constructed early 1990s).
Location is a genuine strength — close to County Walk and Enfield Island Village amenities, local shops and cafes in North Chingford, plus quick Overground links at Highams Park and Chingford into central London. Epping Forest and Sewardstone Marsh are nearby for outdoor leisure, and several nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or independent options suit families.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the overall property is small (540 sq ft), the wider area records higher crime levels, and communal service charges add to running costs. Buyers should inspect communal areas and parking arrangements, and confirm insurance and reserve fund details within the service charge before committing.
