Description
Rarely do properties of this calibre come to market. Situated in a prime Ilford location, this outstanding ground-floor quarter conversion offers a truly unique opportunity for discerning buyers seeking style, space, and convenience.
Beautifully presented throughout, the property is offered in immaculate condition and feels every bit like a show home, with tasteful décor and meticulous attention to detail evident in every room.
A standout feature is the stunning private rear garden, a peaceful sanctuary that provides the perfect setting for relaxation, entertaining, or simply escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Further enhancing its appeal is the invaluable benefit of off-street parking, a rarity for properties of this type and location.
The property also benefits from approximately 150 years remaining on the lease, providing long-term peace of mind for future owners.
What truly sets this home apart is the exceptional standard of the converted period building itself. Unusually, three of the four flats within the building are owner-occupied, resulting in a level of care and pride that is immediately apparent. The communal areas and hallways are amongst the cleanest and best-maintained we have seen in many years, creating a welcoming environment from the moment you arrive.
Combining period character with modern presentation, generous outdoor space, off-street parking, and a highly desirable location, this is undoubtedly one of the finest quarter conversions we have encountered in a long time.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this remarkable home has to offer.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
