This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Blake Avenue is a roomy, freehold family home with genuine scope to update and extend. The property offers a good-sized living room, separate kitchen, downstairs bathroom and three bedrooms, plus an upstairs WC — practical for family life. A large rear garden and off-street parking add everyday convenience and outdoor space.
Approved planning permission (Ref: 22/00973/HSE) exists for a part two-storey, part single-storey rear extension and elevation changes, creating clear potential to add living space subject to permissions being current. The house dates from the 1930s–1940s, retains a traditional façade and double glazing, and would reward buyers prepared to modernise interiors and services to contemporary tastes.
Buyers should note the property shows older décor and will need updating; walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation, so thermal improvements may be required. There is one full bathroom plus a first-floor WC only, and the wider area scores as deprived — factors to weigh alongside the excellent transport links and nearby schools. Overall, this is a practical family purchase or a development opportunity for someone wanting to add value in a well-connected Barking location.
