This mid-20th-century three-bedroom terraced house in Hillcroft, Loughton is offered chain free and presents a clear opportunity for a buyer looking to add value. Arranged over two storeys and extending to around 989 sq ft, the property has a through living room, separate kitchen, and a lean-to that suggests potential for a sizable rear extension subject to planning permission (STTP).
The house needs renovation throughout, making it a suitable project for first-time buyers or young families who want to personalise a home. There are two double bedrooms and a larger-than-average single room, served by a single first-floor bathroom. Original features such as exposed beams and a chimney breast give the property character but will require sympathetic updating.
Outside, the property sits on a decent plot with a large rear garden ideal for outdoor living or future extension. The location benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and easy access to the Central Line into London, plus a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby — attractive to commuting families.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the house requires modernisation throughout, offers only one bathroom, and any extension plans depend on obtaining planning permission. Council tax is moderate and the property sits in an area with average crime levels. Buyers should factor renovation costs and planning risk into their budgets.
