Your Move Glenwood estate agents are pleased to offer for sale this three-bedroom penthouse flat, located on the third floor (top floor) of Academy Court.
Academy Court is a striking 'Georgian' style (locally listed) building, designed by the Essex county architect, John Stuart. The building was used as a technical college in 1936 and was occupied by the University of East London in the 1990s. National house builder, Taylor Wimpey, converted the building into residential units in around 2010, as part of the Academy Central re-development.
The penthouse flat, located beneath the building’s clock tower, is arranged over approximately 2,248 square feet (approximately 208.9 square metres). The three bedrooms all have en-suites (Bedroom 2 has a Jack-and-Jill shower room with secondary access from the entrance hall). There is a reception/dining room, leading to a kitchen/breakfast room. The property also has three terraces and conservatory.
The penthouse also benefits from two allocated parking spaces virtually opposite the main entrance to the building. Access to the third floor (via the lift) is restricted to the penthouse owner. The penthouse has its own entrance lobby, leading to the front door of the flat. There are also stairs to the third floor.
The lease has a term of approximately 199 years remaining (expiring on 31/12/2224). The ground rent is a peppercorn (£0) which is fixed for the term of the lease. The estimated service charges for the accounting year ending 31/12/2025 are £2,466.48. The buildings insurance for the year ending April 2025 is £1,124.48.
The property is situated within approximately 0.2 miles of Goodmayes Park Recreation Ground and within approximately 0.3 miles of Mayesbrook Park. Upney Underground station (District Line – Zone 4) is approximately 1.3 miles away.
