Set on one of Old Hartswood’s most desirable roads, this 1930s semi offers spacious family living with clear potential. The house is freehold, chain-free and sits on a large plot with a south-facing rear garden that receives good afternoon sun — a rare find so close to Brentwood station.
Internally the layout is traditional and comfortable: two reception rooms plus a sizeable conservatory, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor WC and an integral garage. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a practical wet room. The property retains period character such as bay windows and a fireplace but shows signs of age and will benefit from updating throughout.
This home will particularly suit buyers looking to create a long-term family base or add value through improvement. There is scope to extend subject to planning (STPP). Buyers should note the property needs renovation, has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, older double glazing (pre-2002) and only one wet room; these are the main areas to budget for.
Location is a strong asset: 0.4 miles to Brentwood station, close to highly regarded schools and King Georges playing fields. Local services, fast broadband and very low crime make this a comfortable, convenient place to live while works are carried out to modernise and improve energy performance.
