Flat for sale in London E11, 2 Bedroom

Detailed Description

An opportunity to transform the interior of a two-bedroom conversion apartment to your own style.

The house was converted into two apartments in the 1980s and is consequently ripe for an upgrade. Sold as unmodernised, the apartment is nonetheless in liveable condition allowing you to carry out improvement works bit by bit while in residence.

There is plenty to work with inside with lots of original sash windows and Victorian panelled doors along with original alcove cupboards and original turned wood balustrades. There's also gas fired central heating.

Two of the big sells are the large basement (ideal for storing bulky sports equipment, or indeed life's junk), and the huge loft area which, subject to the necessary consents, offers the potential for extra accommodation. Many properties locally have extended into the roof space and the results can be quite spectacular.

The apartment has an entrance door at street level and a staircase up to the main first floor landing from where every room leads.

At the front, a fantastic living room across the entire width of the building with a large bay and additional window looking onto the leafy street. Both the bedrooms are doubles and have a rear aspect.

The kitchen and bathroom are in good order and, depending on your preference, could be renovated using their existing fittings, or completely replaced.
