Set on a popular residential street, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers substantial family potential and sensible parking with a rare double garage to the rear. The ground floor through reception creates flexible living and dining space while the kitchen opens onto a decent sized garden — good for children and weekend entertaining.
The home is solidly built (1930s) with double glazing fitted after 2002 and mains gas central heating, but it requires modernisation throughout. Expect cosmetic and updating works, and that the cavity walls were originally solid brick (no added insulation assumed). There is scope to extend (subject to planning), which could add valuable living space for growing families.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Hornchurch and Elm Park stations, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a strong local school catchment with several Good-rated primaries and secondaries nearby. Low local crime and an affluent neighbourhood make this an appealing move for families seeking long-term value.
Practical points: the property is offered freehold and has a single family bathroom. Buyers should budget for renovation and possible insulation improvements; the double garage and off-street parking are a rare convenience in the area.
