Set on a substantial suburban plot in Hornchurch, this four-bedroom end-terrace offers a rare combination of generous living space and clear scope to add value. The property extends to about 1,555 sq ft across three storeys with a long 70' rear garden, off-street parking for two cars and a garage with power — practical assets for a growing family.
The house is solid 1930s construction with double glazing and mains gas central heating but is presented in need of renovation. Interiors are dated (old carpets, fixtures and finishes) yet habitable, and the layout — large through lounge and expansive kitchen/dining room — provides flexible living and straightforward improvement potential. There is scope to extend subject to planning (STPP), which could increase space and market appeal.
Practical advantages include a freehold title, chain-free sale and good local connectivity: Emerson Park station is about 0.9 miles away, with bus links and a range of nearby schools including several rated Good or Outstanding. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the wider area is affluent, making this a sensible buy-for-improvement for owner-occupiers or investors targeting families.
Buyers should budget for renovation work and possible insulation or electrical upgrades (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated). There is a single bathroom for four bedrooms and council tax is above average — factors to consider when planning costs and household logistics. Overall, this is a practical, value-led opportunity for those prepared to modernise and personalise a spacious family home close to local amenities.
