Summary - Holcombe Road, Ilford, IG1 IG1 4XF
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period home with 80ft garden and extension potential, offered as a probate sale.
Large northwest-facing garden over 80ft
Set on the sought-after Garden City Estate in Ilford, this four-bedroom semi-detached home offers a traditional layout with clear family appeal. The house has three generous double bedrooms and one single, two reception rooms (including a bay-fronted living room with fireplace and wood flooring), and a kitchen that overlooks a northwest-facing garden of over 80ft — a rare, deep plot for the area.
Practical features include off-street parking, a garage, a ground-floor shower room plus an upstairs family bathroom with separate WC, and freehold tenure. There is scope to extend further subject to planning permission, making the property attractive for buyers who want to add living space or increase value. The sale is offered as a probate sale, so purchasers should be prepared for that process.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the house dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation), double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of D — so thermal upgrades may be needed. Council tax is described as expensive. The immediate area records a very high crime level, which prospective purchasers should factor into their decision.
For families, the location is a strength: close to Valentines Park, strong local secondary schools (including a top-rated option), and excellent transport links. For renovators or investors, the large garden, garage and extension potential offer clear upside once modernisation and insulation works are considered.
