A three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house on Thorpe Road offering 1,119 sq ft of living space and a private garden. The property is freehold and built c.1900–1929, retaining period bay-window character while requiring modernization throughout — ideal for buyers wanting to add value.
The layout provides a bright living room, a practical kitchen, three upstairs bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Double glazing is installed (pre-2002) and heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators. The small rear plot is low-maintenance and suits light gardening or outdoor seating.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local schools (several rated Good). Barking town centre amenities, shops and transport links are close by, making commuting straightforward and day-to-day life convenient.
Important drawbacks to budget for: the property needs updating and refurbishment, solid brick walls appear uninsulated (assumed), glazing is older, and the area shows high crime and relative deprivation. Buyers should allow for cosmetic and likely structural-upgrade costs when calculating value and mortgage/work plans.
