Description
Nature's never far way - as well as those well maintained communal gardens, the endlessly explorable expanse of Epping Forest is just ten minutes on foot. Lose yourself there, and forget you're in London.
IF YOU LIVED HERE...
You'll be enjoying a rare amount of outside space for apartment living. The whole property is bookended by a pair of balconies, each offering leafy green views and the perfect opportunity for coffee and contemplation. The front balcony spills natural light into your 250 square foot lounge, dual aspect with engineered blonde hardwood running underfoot.
Next door your sizeable kitchen's particularly striking in hi-gloss black cabinetry and complementary large format floor tiling and has plenty of space to serve as a second dining spot. Out into your main hallway now for a wonderful welcome with more blonde hardwood flooring and plenty of incidental space. The sizeable roof terrace is right outside your front door, and makes for a nice sociable spot.
Back inside and your bathroom's next, an elegant affair in floor to ceiling sandstone tiles, with a walk-in rainfall shower. Both bedrooms sit to the rear, each a sizeable double with a pleasant view of the expansive, well kept communal lawns to the rear of the development. Your principal sleeper's a generous 135 square feet, with direct access to your rear balcony, bringing things full circle.
WHAT ELSE?
- South Woodford tube, sat in zone four, is around a fifteen minute stroll for direct, fast and regular runs to the City and West End via the Central Line.
- As noted you have private, gated parking and drivers can be on the North Circular in less than ten minutes.
- Current or prospective parents will be pleased to know there are five 'Outstanding' primary/secondary schools less than a mile away on foot. The 'Outstanding' Churchfields Infants and Churchfields Juniors are both less than five minutes on foot.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS.....
"What we love the most about our flat:
* It is always full of light!
* There is a lovely view from both balconies, which overlook the Churchfields recreation ground on one side and the communal garden on the other. Lots of trees and songbirds!
* Having a spacious living room is great both for working from home and relaxing at the end of the day.
* It is very convenient to have a gated parking space, not only for us but also for family and friends when they are visiting.
* You can quickly be in central London but it is also close to Epping Forest and, if you like birdwatching, the Rainham Marshes reserve!
* With just a few minutes walk you are in South Woodford high street: very convenient for the Sunday quiz at the George!"

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- 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).
