Large fixer-upper near Francis Road and Leyton tube, big development potential.
Over 1,350 sq ft across three storeys and large basement
A substantial three-bedroom Victorian terrace offering over 1,350 sq ft of flexible space in E10, ideal for a developer or buyer comfortable with a renovation project. The house has strong fundamentals — generous period proportions, high ceilings, bay windows and a large basement — and sits just off Francis Road with Leyton tube under a ten-minute walk.
The property requires renovation: cosmetic and likely some structural upgrading, no assumed wall insulation, and an EPC rating of D. There is scope to add value by developing the large basement and pursuing a loft conversion (subject to planning permission), mirroring neighbouring works. The kitchen, reception rooms and bedrooms provide solid floorplates to reconfigure or restore original features such as floorboards and mantels.
Outside, a small private garden and rear utility area can be simplified into a usable outdoor retreat. Practical details: mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing of unknown age, freehold tenure and a single bathroom. Note the area records above-average crime and the property will need attentive refurbishment rather than being move-in ready.
For investors this is a clear development opportunity near popular local amenities — cafes, pubs and parks — and strong transport links to central London. For a family keen to personalise a home, the layout and local schools provide long-term appeal once the work is complete.
