Chain free freehold Victorian mid-terrace with period bay window
Approximately 487 sq ft; overall size classified as small
Three/four flexible rooms; ground-floor bathroom

Needs renovation: likely insulation, windows, and interior works
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; energy upgrades recommended
Area: above-average crime, very deprived but excellent local amenities
A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering three bedrooms (or three/four flexible rooms) across approximately 487 sq ft. The house is chain free and suited to buyers willing to renovate: it retains period character such as a bay front and brick facade but shows exterior wear and needs internal modernisation. The property comes with a small rear garden and a ground-floor bathroom.
Practical essentials are in place: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, solid brick construction, and very low flood risk. The house is freehold and located on a residential street in Plaistow, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Nearby amenities include shops on Barking Road, leisure facilities and several outstanding primary schools within walking distance.
Key negatives are straightforward: the home needs renovation throughout (likely upgrading insulation, windows and internal finishes), overall living space is small, and walls are assumed uninsulated. The area scores high on deprivation and local crime is above average, which should be weighed against the low purchase price and potential upside after refurbishment.
This property will suit a hands-on first-time buyer or small-family looking for an affordable entry into E13, or an investor targeting value-add refurbishment. With good schools close by and convenient transport and local amenities, sympathetic renovation could create a comfortable family home or a lettable investment in a well-connected part of Newham.
