This three-bedroom Edwardian mid-terrace on Selwyn Avenue offers a spacious, family-friendly layout with genuine scope to add value. At about 1,015 sq ft the house opens into a long, light-filled open-plan reception/kitchen/diner that runs the length of the property, with original bay windows, period detail and a wood burner for cosy evenings. The rear garden faces west and measures roughly 52 feet — a rare, generous outdoor space for this street.
Practical features include a downstairs WC, a contemporary-feel bathroom with claw-foot bath, and two doubles plus a smaller third room suitable as a child's bedroom or home office. The property is chain-free and freehold, and it’s a short walk to Highams Park station and Epping Forest — strong points for commuters and families who value green space and quick city access.
There are some material things to know before viewing. The house dates from 1900–1929 and is built in solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002—both factors that could affect running costs and may require upgrading. The advertised scope to extend is subject to planning permission (not yet applied for). Local indices show the wider area classed as very deprived, which may influence resale pricing and some local services.
Overall, this is a well-presented period home that suits families wanting immediate move-in comfort plus clear potential to personalise and extend. Buyers looking to improve energy efficiency or pursue an extension should budget accordingly; for those prioritising transport and outdoor space, the location and long garden are major positives.
