This mid-terraced two-bedroom house on Marlborough Road offers a practical, well-located home for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The ground floor’s open-plan living and dining space flows to a contemporary kitchen, while two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom sit upstairs. The property benefits from off-street parking to the front and a low-maintenance patio garden with a versatile outbuilding that has internet access — useful as a home office or storage.
Location is a key strength: Upney (District Line) and Goodmayes (Elizabeth Line) stations are within easy reach, with quick road access to the A12/A13. Local schools (including Dorothy Barley and The Sydney Russell) and shops are nearby, and nearby parks provide green space. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as good, supporting remote working and streaming.
Buyers should note the house was built c.1930–1949 with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades and modernisation may be needed. The plot is small and the overall footprint is modest (about 846 sq ft), and there is a single family bathroom. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and should be considered alongside rental demand and yields.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable freehold terrace with clear potential: modest immediate living, useful outbuilding, and scope for energy improvements and cosmetic refurbishment to add value.
