Set for sale by public auction on 23rd October, this two-bedroom freehold house presents an income-producing opportunity close to local transport and High Street North amenities. The property is currently tenanted on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (holding over) at £1,675 pcm, making it immediately cash-generative for a buyer comfortable with tenanted purchases.
The house requires visible remedial work and general redecoration: external render is patchy, the garden and yard need clearing, and internal areas show signs of damp and wear. Construction dates place the building between 1930–1949 with solid brick walls presumed uninsulated; buyers should budget for insulation, possible damp treatment and modernisation to raise energy efficiency beyond the current EPC D rating.
Location is a practical strength — within a mile of East Ham and Woodgrange Park stations (District/Hammersmith & City and Overground) and quick access to the A406 toward the M11 and M25. Local amenities, schools (including several rated Good or Outstanding) and leisure facilities are nearby, supporting rental demand in this busy urban area.
This is a short-plot, mid-20th-century detached house best suited to investors seeking a let property with upside from refurbishment, or a buyer prepared to renovate. Note the medium flood risk and the property will be sold at auction; purchasers should carry out pre-auction due diligence and budget for repairs and potential insulation or damp remedies.
