Summary - 71 SHERINGHAM DRIVE BARKING IG11 9AL
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
1930s family home with garage, driveway and extension potential.
Freehold three-bedroom semi-detached on Leftley Estate
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Leftley Estate offers practical family living with clear potential. The property benefits from off-street parking for two vehicles, a rear garage, and a south-westerly garden — useful for outdoor family time and storage. The extended kitchen and through lounge provide flexible day-to-day space, and there is a ground-floor study with a WC.
For buyers wanting to add value, there is scope to extend further subject to planning. The house is freehold, sits on a decent plot, and is in a well-connected part of Barking with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Several well-rated local schools are within easy reach, and nearby stations offer good links into central London.
Be clear about the work and characteristics: the house dates from the 1930s, has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and double glazing installed before 2002 — all of which may mean improvement works to increase energy efficiency. There is a single family bathroom and the area scores as deprived overall; crime is average. These are realistic factors to consider alongside the property’s long-term upside on a desirable estate.
This home will suit families seeking space and parking in a convenient Barking location, or buyers wanting a renovation project with extension potential. Viewings will show the property’s character and highlight where updating could deliver both comfort and value uplift.
