Summary - 77 Abbs Cross Lane RM12 4XW
3 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Single-storey home with big garden and strong renovation potential.
Chain free detached bungalow on a large plot
A detached, single-storey bungalow on a generous plot in Hornchurch, offered chain free and ready for refurbishment. The house sits on a large rear garden (over 100 ft) with a driveway and rear garage, giving strong scope for exterior improvement, parking and storage. There is loft conversion potential subject to planning, which could add substantial usable space and value.
Internally the layout provides three bedrooms, a lounge/diner, kitchen, family bathroom and separate WC. The property is liveable but requires updating throughout — cosmetic and some fabric improvements are likely, including insulation to the solid brick walls and general modernisation of kitchens and bathrooms. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; the windows are double glazed (install date unknown).
Location strengths include easy access to local shops, bus links and several Good-rated schools nearby, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Practical positives — freehold tenure, no flood risk and generous off-street parking — sit alongside material considerations buyers must weigh: a very high local crime rate, above-average council tax, and renovation works required.
This bungalow will suit a downsizer wanting single-floor living with garden space, a buyer seeking a refurbishment project to add value, or someone planning a loft conversion (subject to planning). It presents clear potential but requires an honest budget for upgrades and security measures before and after moving in.
