Chain-free three-bed terrace needing modernisation, close to Elm Park station and schools.
Chain-free three-bedroom terraced house with freehold tenure
Chain-free and centrally located, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a straightforward renovation project for a first-time buyer or investor. The layout is traditional — two reception rooms, a kitchen with rear lean-to and three first-floor bedrooms — arranged over two storeys with a sensible, well-lit front reception. Good local schools and Elm Park station (0.8 miles) are within easy reach, making the house practical for families and commuters.
The property needs modernisation throughout: dated kitchen fittings, worn porch/lean-to and a shabby exterior that will benefit from cosmetic and systems upgrades. The rear garden is a useful size for a terrace plot and there’s a garage at the rear; potential exists for off-street parking to the front subject to permissions and for modest extensions (rear/loft) if required and permitted.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flooding risk, low local crime and fast broadband/mobile signal. The home’s average internal size and compact rooms suit buyers comfortable with a modest footprint but willing to add value through refurbishment. Buyers should factor renovation costs and check permissions for parking or extension work.
Overall this is a clear fixer opportunity in a well-served Hornchurch location: comfortable everyday living now, with scope to modernise and increase value over time.
