This larger-than-average four-bedroom semi offers clear potential for a growing household or investor prepared to renovate. The house is chain-free and already extended, with scope to extend further subject to planning (STPP). Its layout includes four reception rooms, a generous kitchen, two bathrooms and a substantial rear garden, creating scope for modern family living and rental uplift.
The property requires modernisation throughout — dated decor, likely solid-brick walls with no installed insulation, and unclear double-glazing age. These are manageable works for a buyer seeking value and willing to invest; improvements to heating, insulation and finishes would significantly increase comfort and resale value.
Location is a key asset: a short walk to Barkingside High Street, near Fairlop Waters and local parks, and within catchment for well-rated schools including Ilford County High. Fairlop and Barkingside Central Line stations are a short drive away, giving fast rail links into central London. Off-street parking for multiple cars and fast broadband make the house practical for commuting and family life.
Buyers should factor in council tax (Band E, above average) and the renovation costs required. For those who want space, schooling options and scope to add value, this property offers a strong, practical opportunity.
