Summary - 52 WENSLEYDALE AVENUE ILFORD IG5 0NB
5 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free, versatile home with large garden and multiple-car parking.
5 large bedrooms plus converted garage/home office (can be bedroom 6)
This spacious five-bedroom semi-detached home on Wensleydale Avenue is laid out for family living and flexible working. A 38'7" through lounge with bifold doors creates a strong indoor–outdoor connection to a low-maintenance landscaped garden, while a sleek fitted kitchen-diner with central island provides an informal hub for family meals.
The ground floor also includes a larger-than-typical WC and a converted garage currently used as a home office (easily repurposed as a sixth bedroom). Upstairs are four double bedrooms and a first-floor luxury bathroom with freestanding bath; a further double occupies the top floor. The property benefits from double glazing (fitted since 2002), mains gas central heating and off-street parking for multiple cars on a block-paved driveway.
Practical points to note: the house is likely to have solid brick walls with no built-in insulation (typical of its early-20th-century construction), and council tax is above average. Those looking to improve energy performance should budget for insulation upgrades. On the plus side the home is chain free, set in an affluent neighbourhood with several well-rated local schools and fast broadband — useful for home working and growing families.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home that blends period features with contemporary fittings and sensible outdoor space. It will suit buyers wanting space, good local schools and easy parking, and who are comfortable investing in targeted energy-efficiency improvements.
