Description
Situated on the popular Lindley Road in Leyton, this one-bedroom first-floor flat offers purchasers an exciting opportunity to acquire a period conversion with considerable scope to improve and extend.
The property currently comprises one bedroom, a reception room, kitchen and bathroom, with the added benefit of an exceptionally long lease of 999 years granted in October 2020.
What really sets this property apart is the planning permission already secured by the current owner for a substantial loft conversion.
Planning permission was granted by the London Borough of Waltham Forest on 28 January 2025 under reference 242865, with a subsequent non-material amendment approved under reference 250922.
The approved scheme provides for a rear dormer roof extension, an extension above the existing two-storey outrigger and two rooflights to the front roof slope, creating the potential for an additional bedroom and bathroom at loft level.
Once completed, the accommodation could provide a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette arranged over two floors, subject to the necessary building regulations and other consents.
Importantly, the registered leasehold title specifically includes the roof space within the property's demise, making this an especially interesting proposition for buyers looking to create their own home while adding value.
Lindley Road is well positioned for the independent cafés, restaurants and amenities of Leyton, including the ever-popular Francis Road, with excellent transport connections and access to surrounding green spaces.
With much of the initial planning work already undertaken, this represents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a property with genuine development potential in an increasingly sought-after East London location.
