This spacious five-bedroom semi-detached home offers generous family living across approximately 2,097 sq ft. A long 220' west-facing rear garden, three reception rooms and a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast room create flexible space for entertaining, play and home working. The property is just 0.5 miles from Hornchurch station and close to several ‘Good’ primary and secondary schools, making daily travel and school runs straightforward.
Internally the house blends period character with contemporary fittings: a principal reception with bay window and decorative cornice, a modern kitchen with breakfast bar, a separate utility and a striking ground-floor shower room. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes plus a single bedroom currently used as an office, and a five-piece family bathroom that suits a busy household.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. The house was built in the 1950s with solid brick construction and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating and energy efficiency may benefit from improvement works. Council tax is described as expensive. The wider area classifications indicate local socio-economic challenges; purchasers should carry out neighbourhood checks to ensure it meets their needs.
Overall this is a substantial family home on a large plot with clear scope to personalise and upgrade energy performance. Its proximity to transport links and local schools will suit growing families seeking space and long-term potential.
