Summary - 35 DOROTHY GARDENS DAGENHAM RM8 2HR
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact, renovate-to-add-value home near bus routes and schools.
Chain free freehold, no ground rent or service charges
This chain-free mid-terraced house in Dorothy Gardens is a compact, practical two-bedroom home suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout is straightforward: a larger-than-average front lounge, a fitted kitchen with direct garden access, two upstairs bedrooms and a shower room. The property totals about 689 sq ft and includes a modest rear garden with patio and lawn.
The interior is serviceable but dated and would benefit from light updating; carpets, kitchen finishes and bathroom fittings show age. The property has double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and a current EPC around 71 with potential into the 90s with improvements. Solid brick construction means walls are likely uninsulated and upgrading insulation would improve comfort and energy performance.
Location strengths include direct bus routes on Longbridge Road to Barking and Romford, nearby schools (including several rated Good or Outstanding) and fast broadband/mobile signal. Notable local challenges are a very deprived area score and above-average crime levels — buyers should consider these when assessing suitability. Council tax is affordable and the freehold tenure removes ground rent/service charge concerns.
