Summary - 127 UPNEY LANE BARKING IG11 9LE
5 bed 4 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious family home with large garden, parking and strong school catchment — extension potential.
Five bedrooms plus three reception rooms, ideal for large or multi-generational families
A spacious five-bedroom semi-detached home arranged over multiple floors, designed for large or multi-generational families. The ground floor offers three reception rooms, a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite shower, utility room and conservatory — flexible layout that suits separate living zones or home working. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional ensuite, plus scope to convert the loft for further living space subject to planning.
Outside, the large rear garden, patio and mature screening provide a private family garden for children and entertaining. Off-street parking for multiple cars and convenient side access add practical day-to-day benefits. The property sits within a very strong school catchment (including an Outstanding secondary) and is close to Upney and Barking stations, making commutes straightforward.
The house is generally clean and well maintained but built in the 1930s with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation and will benefit from energy improvements. There is medium flood risk locally and council tax is rated expensive — both important for running costs and insurance. Planning scope exists to extend (loft, double-storey side or rear) which could significantly increase value, subject to approvals.
This is a solid family-focused opportunity: plenty of ready-to-use space now, straightforward potential to modernise and extend, and excellent local amenities and transport links. Buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades and factor flood risk and higher council tax into ongoing costs.
