This three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house on Lodge Avenue is a spacious family plot with genuine extension potential. The property requires full refurbishment throughout, making it a clear project for a buyer who wants to add value and personalise living space. With a huge 180 ft rear garden, side/rear extension options (STPP) and an attached garage, the site is the main asset.
Internally the layout suits family life: two reception rooms, a separate kitchen, lean-to/utility and three bedrooms upstairs with a single family bathroom. Many original period features remain (fireplace, parquet/fitted shelving) but fittings and finishes are dated and will need updating. Expect works to modernise the kitchen, bathrooms, and general decorative and mechanical elements.
Location is a practical draw for families: a short walk to Raphael Park and Gidea Park Primary School, with several good schools nearby and fast broadband. The house is freehold, in a very affluent neighbourhood with low crime and good transport/amenity access. Buyers should allow budget and time for renovation and council tax, which is above average.
