Chain-free Victorian terraced house with south-facing garden and strong refurbishment potential..
Large 946 sq ft Victorian two-bedroom layout with high ceilings
A spacious Victorian two-bedroom terraced house in Leytonstone, offered chain-free and as a freehold, presents clear scope for an investor or hands-on buyer to add value. With a generous 946 sq ft layout, high ceilings and original period features, the property has strong potential to be converted into a bright, comfortable home.
The house requires major refurbishment throughout: cosmetic and structural updates, new kitchen and bathroom fittings, and likely upgrades to insulation and electrical systems. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators but services and appliances have not been tested; buyers should allow budget for a full survey and remedial works. The solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so thermal improvements will be important for comfort and running costs.
Layout strengths include a large through lounge with a front bay window and original timber floors, a wide galley kitchen opening to an L-shaped south-facing garden, and two double bedrooms on the first floor. The substantial bathroom has three windows and enough space to reconfigure into a contemporary family bathroom. Outside, the south-facing garden and side return provide useful outdoor space and scope for rear extension (subject to consents).
Location is a practical asset: Leytonstone’s shops, cafés and transport links are within easy walking distance, with Central Line and overground services close by. Good local schools and green spaces such as Wanstead Flats and Hollow Ponds add appeal to renters and families. EPC rating D and council tax band C are noted.
This property suits an investor seeking refurbishment-and-rent or a buyer wanting a project to create a bespoke home. Full professional surveys and statutory checks are recommended before purchase to confirm structural condition and necessary works.
