Character-filled three-bedroom family home with garden and extension potential.
Detached Tudor‑Revival family house with large rooms and period detail
A substantial three-bedroom detached family house in a desirable Gants Hill turning, this Tudor-Revival property offers generous rooms, large windows and a deep rear garden. The house sits on a decent plot with driveway and attached garage, and benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime — useful practical advantages for family life and home working.
Interwar character is evident in bay windows, coved cornices and leaded-glass details. The layout includes two large reception rooms, a sizeable kitchen and a large landing with access to the loft. There is clear scope to increase living space by rear, side and loft extension (subject to local planning consents), making the house a good candidate for families seeking growth potential or investors targeting added value.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is solid-brick construction from c.1900–1929 with double glazing fitted after 2002 and a mains-gas boiler with radiators. The single family bathroom and some dated fittings suggest a need for modernization in parts; assumed lack of wall insulation may mean energy improvements are worth budgeting for. Council Tax is band E (above average) and any extension work will require planning approval.
In short, this is a roomy, characterful family home in a very affluent area with excellent transport links (Gants Hill Central Line nearby) and schools within easy reach. Buyers should value the combination of period features, extension potential and good connectivity, and be prepared to invest in modernization and insulation improvements where required.
