This ground-floor, one-bedroom maisonette offers an affordable entry into Dagenham with unusually large front and rear gardens for the price. The flat is chain-free and sits close to Becontree (District line), making commutes into the city straightforward. Interiors are traditional and practical: a bright reception room, separate fitted kitchen and gas central heating.
The outdoor space is the standout — a private rear garden about 88' and a generous front garden provide scope for entertaining, gardening or extending (subject to consents). The building is mid-20th century with pebble-dash exterior; the property will suit buyers who want outside space and are willing to tackle external maintenance and landscaping to add value.
Material practicalities to note: the home is leasehold with c.88 years remaining, an annual service charge of c.£972.28 and a small ground rent. The exterior and gardens are unmaintained and the property shows signs of age (EPC D, solid brick walls with assumed no insulation). These are realistic renovation and running-cost factors for a buyer to budget for.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry London property with sizeable gardens and good transport links, this maisonette presents clear potential. It’s best for someone ready to carry out cosmetic updates and garden restoration to realise value and comfort.
