A spacious two-bedroom ground-floor Victorian maisonette offering character, a large private garden and off-street parking. The lounge flows into a modernised kitchen-dining room with patio doors leading directly onto the garden, creating a bright, sociable living space ideal for first-time buyers or young commuter families.
The property is sold with no onward chain and a long lease (999 years), simplifying purchase. Located within walking distance of Romford town centre and the mainline station — with Crossrail improvements nearby — it suits commuters seeking quick links into London. Local primary and secondary schools are rated Good, and neighbourhood amenities are plentiful.
There are practical drawbacks to note: the building is solid-brick Victorian with assumed no cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher and further energy upgrades may be needed. The exterior shows wear and will require maintenance. The area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, which may concern some buyers. Council tax is described as cheap.
Overall this maisonette offers strong value for buyers prioritising location, outside space and transport links, but budget for external repairs and potential energy-efficiency improvements when considering the purchase.
