Freehold two-bedroom family home with large garden, no chain and extension potential.
No chain — freehold two-bedroom mid-terrace
Large rear garden with scope to extend (subject to consents)
Close to Becontree Station, shops and multiple good schools
Partially boarded loft — potential for conversion
Solid brick walls; likely no wall insulation (improvement needed)
Double glazing installed pre-2002 — may require upgrading
Area classed as deprived; average local crime levels
Small plot size despite overall large internal area
This two-bedroom mid-terrace in RM9 is a straightforward family buy with clear scope to add value. Set next to Becontree Station and close to several well-rated schools, it offers easy commuting, local shops and on-street parking. Being freehold and sold with no chain makes it a practical purchase for a family or a buyer seeking a renovation project with upside.
The ground floor features a generous living room, separate kitchen and under-stairs storage, while the first floor has two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A partially boarded loft provides extra storage and presents obvious potential for conversion (subject to permissions). The long rear garden and stated option to extend give room to create more living space or an open-plan rear extension.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the property dates from the 1930–1949 period with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. The area is classified as deprived with average crime levels, so factor in potential running and improvement costs. The house will suit someone prepared to update heating, insulation and interiors to modern standards to unlock the full value.
