This spacious end-of-terrace house in Barkingside offers flexible living across approximately 1,260 sq ft, currently arranged as three bedrooms plus a converted garage used as a fourth bedroom or reception. The property includes a fitted kitchen, two reception rooms, a fitted shower room and WC, off-street parking for two cars, a rear garden and an outbuilding comprising a gym/playroom and storage. It is sold chain free and sits within walking distance of Barkingside and Newbury Park tube stations and local bus routes.
The house presents clear scope for value-adding improvements: a double side extension, rear extension and loft conversion are all possible subject to planning permission. The layout and overall plot make this well-suited to growing families seeking extra space or investors looking to add upstairs accommodation and increase rental or resale value. Nearby schools include several rated Good and two highly ranked secondary schools, which strengthens family appeal.
Buyers should note this is an older build (late 1970s/early 1980s) on a relatively small plot and will benefit from refurbishment rather than being move-in ready. There is a single fitted shower room for three/four bedrooms, and the area records higher-than-average local crime — factors to weigh for buyers prioritising immediate convenience or low-maintenance living. Services are conventional (mains gas central heating, double glazing of unknown install date).
Overall this property suits a family or investor prepared to upgrade and extend. It offers strong transport links, parking and garden space as immediate benefits, plus clear development potential to create substantial additional living space subject to permissions.
