Extended two-bed with parking and good links — ideal first home requiring modernisation.
Chain free two-bedroom end-of-terrace, approx. 617 sq ft
This two-bedroom, end-of-terrace corner house offers a practical first home with immediate move-in potential and scope for improvement. The ground floor has been extended to create a 22 ft lounge and a 14 ft kitchen-diner, giving flexible living space for everyday life and socialising. At around 617 sq ft, the layout is compact but usable, with two bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom.
Practical benefits include multi-vehicle off-street parking, a rear garden, double glazing (installed before 2002) and freehold tenure. It’s chain free, located a short stroll from Dagenham Heathway Station and local shops, which makes commuting straightforward. Several nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good by Ofsted, which will suit buyers with young children.
Buyers should note material drawbacks factually: the area is classified as very deprived with a high local crime rate; the property’s exterior is dated and will require cosmetic renovation; cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation and the glazing is older, so upgrading heating and insulation may be needed to improve comfort and running costs. The plot is small and the building dates from the mid-20th century, so repair and modernisation works may be prudent.
Offered with a guide price of £375,000–£400,000, this home suits a first-time buyer or investor who wants a well-located property to personalise and add value. Viewing is recommended to assess the condition and scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic refurbishment.
