This five-bedroom, three-bath mid-terrace on Faircross Avenue has been heavily extended and newly refurbished, making it ready to move into for a growing family. The layout includes a modern fitted kitchen with dining space, three bedrooms on the first floor and two further bedrooms in the converted loft — useful for children’s rooms or a home office. Chain-free sale speeds up purchase and the property sits close to Barking Station and local bus routes for commuter convenience.
The house offers bright, freshly decorated rooms and new flooring throughout, plus contemporary bathrooms. The rear garden provides a small outdoor space for children and pets, while the extension increases living space compared with a standard terrace. Broadband and mobile signal are strong in the area, and nearby schools rated Good make the location family-friendly in terms of education.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the plot is small, and the exterior shows Victorian solid-brick construction likely without cavity insulation. Heating is by mains gas with room heaters; buyers may want to check the central heating system and consider insulation upgrades for efficiency. The neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and the wider area is relatively deprived — factors worth checking against personal priorities and security measures.
The property’s newly renovated condition reduces immediate work, but older properties of this era may still benefit from a professional survey to confirm services and structure. For families seeking substantial internal space close to transport links and schools, this terraced house offers immediate occupation with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
