This mid-century two-bedroom terraced home on Ilchester Road offers an accessible, affordable entry to Dagenham living. The property sits within walking distance of Becontree station and District Line access, making it practical for commuters, while nearby primary and secondary schools suit young families and first-time buyers.
Inside, the layout is traditional and straightforward: separate lounge, generous kitchen with garden access, and a first-floor bathroom. The loft provides storage and scope for conversion, and there is clear potential to extend (subject to permissions) to increase living space and future value. Off-street parking and a large rear garden are standout practical benefits for everyday family life.
The house is well presented but does need some modernization to reach contemporary energy and aesthetic standards. Walls are original solid brick with no added insulation assumed, and double glazing was installed before 2002; updating heating, insulation and windows would improve comfort and running costs. The plot is small and the area is classified as very deprived, which is reflected in local demand and price levels.
Overall this freehold property suits first-time buyers or investors who want a manageable renovation project with sensible commuter links and good local schools. It’s a practical home with room to add value rather than a turnkey move-in for those seeking a fully modern finish.
