Offered Freehold and selling at public auction, this detached two-bedroom bungalow sits on a generous, wrap-around plot in Upminster. The property is roughly 99 sqm (1,066 sq ft) and includes a garage, substantial garden and flexible rooms including reception/office space — a strong redevelopment prospect for investor-buyers or owner-occupiers seeking to add value.
The house requires full refurbishment throughout: expect dated finishes, areas of damp and mould, and general wear consistent with a mid-20th century solid brick build with no assumed cavity insulation. Double glazing is in place but predates 2002; heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. These factors present clear upgrade and insulation opportunities to improve comfort and energy performance.
Planning potential is a key value-driver. The site may allow renovation, extension or an additional property to the side subject to planning consent — interested parties should contact London Borough of Havering Planning Department for pre-application advice. Excellent local amenities, good primary and outstanding secondary schools, plus fast rail connections into London from Upminster Station, strengthen rental and resale prospects.
This lot suits property developers, investors and experienced DIY buyers prepared for a full refurbishment project. Note the sale is by public auction on 9th October 2025; viewings strictly by appointment and purchase terms of auction sale should be reviewed carefully prior to bidding.
