Summary - 23 NORTHBROOK ROAD, ILFORD IG1 3BP
4 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Large family home close to Ilford station with versatile external studio.
Nearly 3,003 sq ft across basement, ground, first and loft levels
A substantial four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached townhouse offering nearly 3,003 sq ft across basement, ground, first and loft levels. The property includes two reception rooms, an expansive open-plan kitchen/living area that opens to a covered terrace and south-facing garden, plus a separate outbuilding with its own WC — useful as a home office, studio or guest space. A private driveway provides off-street parking for two cars. At about 0.2 miles from Ilford station and close to the town centre, the location gives quick commuter links to Central London and local shopping.
The house retains period character — double bay windows, high ceilings and generous room proportions — while many internal areas reflect mid-century updates and some wear. The main suite benefits from an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe; there are three further bedrooms and high-ceiling reception spaces. A full basement and the loft (restricted head height) add flexible accommodation or storage but will need consideration for conversion or use.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is freehold and on mains gas with boiler and radiators, but the brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing dates from before 2002, so further thermal and energy upgrades are likely. The wider area shows above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, although local schooling options and parks are strong. This home suits a growing family seeking space and location, or a buyer prepared to invest in modernisation to fully realise the house’s potential.
Summary: a rare, large period family home in a highly connected Ilford location, offering immediate living space and significant scope for improvement and customization. Buyers should factor in refurbishment and insulation works to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
