This Victorian mid-terrace on Smarts Lane blends period character with contemporary finishes. Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms sit over a compact footprint, arranged for practical day-to-day living. The fitted galley kitchen and modern bathroom are ready to use, making the house move-in friendly for first-time buyers or small families.
Location is a clear asset: central Loughton position within walking distance of the High Road, morning commutes via the Central Line, and Staples Road primary catchment. Nearby Epping Forest and local amenities provide green space and convenience, while excellent mobile and fast broadband make home-working straightforward.
The property does have constraints to consider. Internal floorspace and the small rear courtyard are modest; the plot is small. Construction is traditional solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for possible energy-improvement works. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, and off-street parking is subject to planning (STPP), despite a small forecourt currently used for parking.
Offered chain free and freehold, the house also offers scope: the loft provides storage and potential conversion subject to consent, and efficient room proportions suit investors or first-time owners wanting a low-maintenance central Loughton base. Overall this is a compact, well-presented period home for buyers prioritising location and character over expansive outdoor space.
