This three-bedroom end-terraced house on Homerton Road is offered chain-free and suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking value and scope. The layout includes a front lounge with bay window, a separate dining room, ground-floor kitchen and a first-floor bathroom, all arranged across a traditional two-storey plan. The property sits on a decent plot with an enclosed rear garden and shared side access.
The house requires renovation: the vendor reports the central heating boiler is not working and there are visible signs of external wear and some damp. Internally the decor and fittings are dated, and the property’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation. These factors mean immediate additional investment will be needed to modernise heating, finishes and energy performance.
For a buyer prepared to invest, there’s clear potential: the dining room could be opened into the kitchen (subject to regulations) to create a contemporary open-plan living space, and the versatile reception rooms could serve as separate living areas or an extra bedroom. The home’s size (about 840 sq ft) and location in a major conurbation with good broadband make it viable for lettings or a long-term starter home.
Local amenities include multiple primary and secondary schools (several rated Good or Outstanding), leisure options and regular bus links. Note the wider area is described as very deprived with average local crime levels — this is material for lenders, insurers and some buyers to consider alongside the renovation costs.
