This three-bedroom semi-detached house on First Avenue is a straightforward family home with clear scope to add space. The property is freehold, chain-free and offers a large west-facing garden that captures afternoon sun—ideal for children and weekend entertaining. The internal footprint is average (approx. 976 sq ft) with two receptions and one bathroom; rooms are naturally lit and retain mid-century character features.
The biggest value driver is the development potential: rear, loft and side extensions are possible subject to planning (STPP), offering realistic opportunity to increase living space and add value. Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and convenient walking access to East Acton (Central line) and Acton Central (Overground), plus a wide choice of well-regarded local schools.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the area scores as deprived with above-average local crime and council tax that is above average. The property appears to have cavity walls without insulation (assumed), a single bathroom and dates from c.1967–75, so modernisation and energy-efficiency upgrades are likely. This home will suit families or buyers prepared to refurbish and extend to unlock its full potential.
