This lower-ground one-bedroom apartment sits in a gated development moments from Victoria Park, offering a compact, well-laid-out home with private access and off-street parking. The open-plan reception and kitchen lead directly to the communal garden, creating useful indoor-outdoor flow for everyday living and light entertaining. With 478 sq ft of space the layout suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a straightforward central-London flat.
Practical points are clear: the long lease (circa 982 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase, while council tax band C is relatively affordable. Running costs will be affected by the property’s electric room heaters and an EPC rating of D. Expect a service charge around £2,036 per year.
Buyers should be aware of local drawbacks: broadband speeds are reported slow and the immediate area records high crime levels, which may influence suitability for some households. The building is modern (late 20th century) with double glazing and partial cavity insulation, but the heating source and EPC suggest potential for energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall, this is a compact, well-located flat with long lease security and parking—best for someone prioritising proximity to Victoria Park and good transport links, and willing to accept modest energy performance and slower broadband.
