Set on a quiet residential street, this three-bedroom semi-detached home suits growing families seeking space and good local schools. Clockhouse Primary is a 0.4-mile walk and several other highly regarded primaries and a secondary school lie close by. The garden backs onto the River Rom, giving a private green aspect for children and outdoor time.
The house offers practical everyday features: off-street parking to the front, traditional layout with three bedrooms upstairs and an average-sized footprint of about 978 sq ft. Transport links are strong — regular buses to Romford station (Elizabeth Line) and easy road access to the A12, A127 and M25 — making commuting straightforward.
There are important issues to note: the property is in a high flood-risk area because of its proximity to the river. The solid brick walls appear to have no added insulation (age circa 1930s–1940s), so energy efficiency and heating costs could be a consideration. The home also looks to need some exterior and general maintenance to modernise fixtures and finishes.
For families or buyers looking for a character home with scope to improve, this freehold semi-detached offers a decent plot and development potential. Buyers should factor in flood mitigation, insulation upgrades and routine renovation costs when assessing affordability and insurance requirements.
