Set on the popular Leftly Estate, this four-bedroom freehold end-of-terrace offers a generous 1,168 sq ft footprint with an integral garage, driveway and decent rear garden. The house retains 1930s character — bay windows and period features — and provides two reception rooms plus a fitted kitchen ready for reconfiguration.
The property requires renovation: cosmetic modernisation throughout, a single first-floor bathroom for four bedrooms, assumed solid brick walls with no cavity insulation, and dated systems. There is a medium flooding risk and local crime levels are above average, both important for buyers to consider alongside the lower energy performance implied by the lack of insulation.
Location is a clear strength. Upney Station (District Line) is within easy reach, and local amenities and several good schools — including Barking Abbey (Outstanding) — are close by. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or rentals.
This house suits a family seeking space to personalise, or an investor willing to refurbish for capital growth and rental income. The layout and plot provide scope to improve energy efficiency, add a second bathroom, and modernise living spaces to unlock the property’s potential.
