1920s three-bed with extension potential — lease short, refurbishment required.
Short walk to Chingford Station and local shops
This three-bedroom 1920s mid-terrace sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in North Chingford, a short walk from Chingford Station and local shops. Its bay-front living room, separate dining room and small rear garden make it practical for family living while remaining close to good primary and secondary schools.
The house offers clear scope to add value: neighbouring properties have loft conversions and the layout suggests potential to extend (subject to planning permission). A garage en-bloc is available but sold separately, which could be useful for storage or parking if secured.
Buyers must be aware of material issues: the lease has only about 38 years remaining, which will seriously restrict mortgage options and may prevent many lenders from offering loans. The kitchen and some interiors are dated and the property uses electric room heaters; walls are likely uninsulated. These factors mean the home suits a buyer prepared to refurbish and resolve tenure issues.
For families wanting to live locally and invest sweat equity, this property offers location and potential. For buyers requiring straightforward mortgage finance or a move-in-ready home, the short lease and heating/energy shortcomings are important practical constraints to factor into any offer.
