Chain-free three-bed with large garage, garden and loft potential for families.
Chain free three-bedroom semi-detached on Leftley Estate
A generous three-bedroom semi on the Leftley Estate, offered chain free and arranged over two floors with a substantial footprint and off-street parking. The property delivers family-focused space: a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room with French doors to a well-kept rear garden, an adjoining study/office, and a useful utility room and ground-floor WC. A large side garage/workshop with an electric up-and-over door adds flexible storage or project space.
Built in the 1930s–40s from solid brick, the house is well presented but shows mid-century fittings in places and would reward updating. There is obvious potential to extend into the loft (subject to consents) to create more bedrooms or a larger family bathroom. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed though installation dates are not recorded.
Practical points for buyers: the plot is decent, the area is residential with good local schools and easy access to Upney station and bus routes, and broadband and mobile signals are strong. Notable negatives are a medium flood risk for the postcode, solid-brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and council tax is above average. The house suits growing families who value space and workshop/garage capacity and are comfortable carrying targeted refurbishment works to modernise bathrooms, kitchen and insulation.
Overall this is a roomy, flexible family home in a convenient Barking location. It presents immediate liveability with scope to add value through loft conversion, insulation improvements and interior modernisation.
