This three-bedroom mid-terraced home offers practical family living within easy walking distance of Romford town centre and station — a genuine commuter advantage. A generous ground-floor extension creates a bright, open-plan living and dining area, supported by two further reception rooms and good natural light throughout. The property is freehold and sits at approximately 980 sq ft, providing flexible space for a growing household.
Local schools have strong Ofsted ratings nearby, and a range of shops, takeaways and transport links are all close by. The house benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing, making it comfortable year-round. No onward chain means a straightforward purchase route for buyers wanting a quicker move.
There are some practical issues to note: the house dates from the 1930s and has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, which may affect running costs. The neighbourhood records higher local crime rates and the wider area is classified as relatively deprived; buyers should weigh location advantages against these factors. The rear garden and small plot offer outside space but will suit modest gardening only.
This property will suit families and commuters seeking space near good transport and schools, and also offers scope for upgrading and energy improvements. It represents a sensible purchase for buyers prepared to modernise heating, insulation or cosmetic finishes to add value and reduce long-term costs.
