Summary - 32, SHAFTESBURY ROAD, ROMFORD RM1 2QJ
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Period character with modern comforts, half-mile from Romford station.
Four bedrooms, principal with en-suite
This Victorian semi delivers a spacious family layout just 0.5 miles from Romford station, combining period character with practical modern upgrades. Ground floor living includes a 22' lounge, separate reception room and study, plus a 14' kitchen and a convenient ground-floor shower room — useful for busy mornings. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, the 13' principal with en-suite, and a family bathroom, giving flexible space for a family or home office use.
Outside, the private 42' rear garden and 26' detached garage provide useful storage, parking or workshop potential. The house has double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — all good for everyday comfort and remote working.
Notable drawbacks are factual and material: the solid-brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and potential upgrade work. Crime levels in the area are above average, so buyers should consider security measures. The property is maintained to a good standard but presents typical improvement and personalization opportunities rather than turnkey luxury.
Suited to families seeking space near transport links and schools, the house is freehold with affordable council tax (Band C). The guide price range is £550,000–£600,000; buyers who prioritise location and flexible living space will see clear value, while those focused on energy efficiency should factor retrofit costs into their plans.
