Set just a short walk from Highams Park Lake and surrounding forest, this 1930s terraced home offers classic period charm and practical family living. The ground floor features a 26ft lounge/diner with bay window and a 17ft kitchen/breakfast room that opens to a long 63ft rear garden — room for children’s play, entertaining and a garden studio. Highams Park station and local shops are within easy walking distance, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby.
The house has been in the same family for over 50 years and does require some updating throughout, offering an excellent opportunity to modernise to personal taste. There are three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor; many neighbouring homes have extended into the loft to create an additional bedroom, so loft conversion potential exists (subject to consents). The layout includes a 12ft hallway with storage and a small front garden.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, chain-free sale, fast broadband and very low local crime. The property’s 964 sqft footprint and small plot suit buyers seeking a manageable family home with scope to add value through refurbishment. Note that the interior decor and some fixtures are dated and will need investment to modernise.
