This three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached house in EN1 offers a practical family layout on a compact plot. The property is freehold and includes a front driveway, rear garden and two brick garden/storage units — useful for bikes and tools. Its location suits commuters and young families, with Turkey Street station and several good primary and secondary schools within easy reach.
The house dates from the mid-20th century and has double glazing and mains gas central heating. There is clear potential to add value through internal modernisation or a rear/side extension, subject to planning permission. At 663 sq ft the home is on the smaller side, so any extension or reconfiguration could materially improve living space.
Buyers should note several practical issues: the property is a system-built mid-century construction with assumed lack of wall insulation, which may affect running costs and could require retrofit work. The curb appeal and interior will need updating; cosmetic and possible deeper renovation works should be budgeted for. The local area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime levels, which some purchasers may consider when weighing the location.
Overall this is a sensible opportunity for a family or investor prepared to carry out improvements. It offers immediate occupancy with scope to increase space and value, but requires realistic budgeting for energy upgrades, refurbishment and possible planning-led extensions.
