This generously proportioned five-bedroom semi-detached home on Faircross offers spacious family living close to Barking and Upney stations. The house has been newly renovated and features a large through lounge, a contemporary kitchen-diner with sliding doors, and a long rear garden with covered patio and sizable summer house — good for entertaining and family use.
Parking is straightforward with a gated driveway and adjoining garage, and practical upgrades include triple glazing and a modern gas central-heating system. The loft conversion provides two additional bedrooms and a WC, increasing usable living space for older children or guests.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with above-average crime and relative local deprivation compared with wider London. The building’s original solid-brick walls are understood to lack cavity insulation, which may affect long-term running costs despite the newer heating and glazing. Measurements and services have not been independently tested — a survey is recommended to confirm condition and any hidden defects.
Overall this is a strong family home: move-in ready with flexible accommodation, off-street parking and a substantial garden, but sensible buyers will factor in area considerations and check insulation and service reports before committing.
