Chain‑free semi‑detached bungalow with garden and extension potential (STPP)..
Chain free two‑bedroom bungalow on a decent plot with private garden
This semi‑detached two‑bed bungalow on Hillview Avenue is a rare single‑storey opportunity in a quiet, affluent Hornchurch street. Offered chain free, the property sits on a decent plot with a private rear garden and off‑street parking — useful for downsizers or buyers seeking a simple, ground‑floor layout.
The interior provides a spacious living room, two bedrooms, kitchen and single bathroom across about 908 sq ft, but the house requires full modernisation. Built between the 1930s and 1940s, the solid brick walls likely lack insulation; expect refurbishment costs for heating, electrics, and cosmetic updating. There is double glazing fitted, though install date is unknown.
There is clear scope to add value: potential to extend (subject to planning permission) and personalise finishes to taste. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime — conveniences for everyday living.
Buyers should factor in renovation work and associated costs before committing. The bungalow suits downsizers wanting a single‑storey home, first‑time buyers prepared for a project, or investors targeting uplift after refurbishment. Early viewing recommended to assess condition and extension possibilities.
