Set on a large plot in Highams Park, this four-bedroom detached house delivers generous living space across 1,603 sq ft, a long rear garden and a substantial garage. Two reception rooms plus a large kitchen/dining area and utility room give practical, flexible family space. The property sits a short walk from the local station and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools, making daily travel and school runs straightforward.
The house dates from the mid-20th century and retains period proportions; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. There is clear potential to update and extend (subject to planning), so buyers wanting to modernise or add value will find scope to do so. The long garage could be repurposed as a workshop, studio or additional storage.
Be aware of two material issues: the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone, and local recorded crime levels are above average. The accommodation appears practically presented but likely benefits from targeted refurbishment to kitchens, bathrooms and some internal fixtures to match contemporary standards.
For families seeking space, garden and transport links in an established Highams Park location, this home offers a rare combination of size, parking for multiple vehicles and development potential. Buyers should factor in flood risk mitigation and possible renovation costs when considering the purchase.
