Two double bedrooms and separate living room
Bright two-bedroom ground-floor flat in a well-kept 1960s block, offering a practical first home or buy-to-let close to Wanstead transport links. The property has two double bedrooms, a generous lounge with a large window, a separate kitchen and useful built-in storage, arranged over about 661 sq ft. Shared outdoor space and off-street communal parking add everyday convenience.
The building is share-of-freehold with a long lease and an entry-phone system; double glazing is fitted. Commuters benefit from Wanstead Underground (c.1.1 miles) and Wanstead Park Overground (c.1.0 mile), plus easy access to the A12 and A406. Nearby schools include highly rated Aldersbrook Primary and St Angela’s Ursuline, making the location attractive to young families.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property dates from the 1950s–1960s, so buyers should expect some modernization and possible upgrades to services. The annual service charge is around £1,560. The local area shows higher levels of deprivation and crime is average; prospective buyers should view locally to assess neighbourhood fit.
Overall this is a well-maintained, straightforward apartment that suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking immediate occupation or a sensible refurbishment project to add value. The share-of-freehold and communal garden are notable positives, while electric heating and service charges are the main running-cost factors to weigh up.
