A generous five-bedroom semi-detached house on the sought-after Woods Estate, freshly renovated and arranged across multiple levels to suit a growing family. The ground floor opens into a large contemporary open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with bi-folding doors, creating a bright entertaining space that flows to the garden. There are two reception rooms, a utility and a ground-floor study that could serve as a sixth bedroom or home office.
Outside, a wide driveway provides parking for two to three cars and a separate garage sits to the rear with conversion potential (subject to planning) for a home office, gym or annex. The loft already has plumbing installed and could accommodate an additional bathroom or dressing room, adding flexible space for busy households. The house extends to about 2,488 sq ft and sits on a decent plot with side access to the garden.
The location is a major selling point for families: excellent local schools nearby, Clayhall Park close by and Gants Hill Underground within a ten-minute walk, with Ilford station and the Elizabeth Line also accessible. The property was comprehensively upgraded around 13 years ago — rewiring, full insulation, repointing and a new boiler — so major immediate works are unlikely.
Practical points to note: there are currently two bathrooms for five good-size double bedrooms, and council tax is above average. Any further extension or garage conversion will require planning permission. Overall, this house suits an extended or growing family seeking space, good schools and convenient transport links in an affluent, low-crime area.
