This chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor flat occupies an Edwardian conversion on a quiet tree-lined street. The flat has been well maintained, recently redecorated and benefits from a high-efficiency Vaillant boiler, double glazing and fast broadband — ready for immediate occupation.
Practical positives include a long lease of 118 years, no service charge, and a low ground rent of £300 pa. The south-facing living room brings good light and there is private parking and a small garden. Commuters will appreciate Upton Park underground within a short walk and Forest Gate/Elizabeth Line access nearby.
Local amenities are strong: supermarkets, Green Street eateries and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat (118 years) in a wider area classed as deprived and with average local crime statistics. The apartment is an average-sized 474 sq ft with standard ceiling heights and typical room proportions for a first-floor conversion, so space is compact compared with larger houses.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-running-cost, ready-to-move-in home close to transport links and local shops. The long lease and minimal ongoing charges reduce medium-term ownership costs, though purchasers wanting larger living areas or quieter, more affluent streets may prefer alternative locations.
