This three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a practical family layout close to Chadwell Heath station, ideal for commuters and growing households. The house includes a low-maintenance rear garden, resident permit parking and an open-plan ground floor that can be reconfigured to suit modern family life. Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong for home working and study.
The property requires modernisation and some redecoration throughout; buyers should plan for updating the kitchen, bathroom and general finishes. It will be sold by Modern Auction with a reservation fee payable on exchange (4.2% of the purchase price including VAT, minimum £6,000) and additional auction administration fees, so factor these costs into any offer. The sale is subject to an undisclosed reserve price and a fixed auction closing date, with completion typically expected within 56 days.
No onward chain simplifies the purchase path for a buyer ready to renovate. The house’s 1930s build and filled cavity walls provide a solid starting point for improvement; double glazing and mains gas central heating are already installed. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, making the area suitable for families seeking commuter links and community amenities.
Suitable for first-time buyers prepared to renovate or investors seeking a refurbishment project, this home offers scope to add value through updating and reconfiguration. Buyers must carry out their own due diligence and be aware of the auction terms before bidding.
