Affordable entry-level house with extension potential in a well-connected location.
2 double bedrooms with practical living space
This two-bedroom end-of-terrace home in Ilford (IG5) offers a practical layout across approximately 807 sq ft, suited to first-time buyers, small families, or investors. The property is freehold, double-glazed, and benefits from mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, indicating decent energy efficiency. As an end-terrace it enjoys slightly more privacy and a small rear garden.
The house is currently tenanted but can be sold with vacant possession, subject to contract, giving flexibility for immediate rental income or owner-occupation. There is scope for future extension (subject to planning permission), which may appeal to buyers seeking to add value. Local amenities, frequent buses, good broadband and excellent mobile signal make the location convenient for everyday needs and commuting.
Internally the accommodation is in generally good condition but shows signs that some updating would be beneficial — for example dated fittings in the reception area and standard laminate flooring. The property sits in an established renting-families area within a very deprived ward; while crime is reported as low, buyers should consider the wider socio-economic context when assessing long-term value and investment potential.
Nearby primary and secondary schools mostly have Good Ofsted ratings, including a top 10% secondary, which supports family buyers. Practical considerations: the heating system will not be tested prior to sale, the garden and plot are small, and any extension plans require planning approval. Overall this home offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Ilford with room to personalise and improve for future gain.
