Set on a tree-lined road in Highams Park, this mid-terrace Victorian house offers genuine family appeal: two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a long, private rear garden (approx. 60ft). The property is chain-free and includes a private garage — a rare convenience close to London. Highams Park station and local schools are within easy walking distance, making daily life straightforward for commuters and parents.
The house retains several original features such as a bay window, fireplace surround and decorative plasterwork, giving scope to restore character while reconfiguring the rear reception and kitchen into an open-plan layout. There is planning potential to extend (subject to planning permission), creating further space and long-term value for a growing family.
Buyers should note the property requires modernisation throughout: some fittings and carpets are dated and the house would benefit from updating to meet contemporary energy and comfort standards. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so consider insulation improvements and possible internal upgrades to heating and energy performance.
Location strengths include fast Overground access into Liverpool Street, abundant green space (Highams Park and Epping Forest), good local schools and a low-crime neighbourhood. The immediate area is socially mixed and the wider ward records higher deprivation statistics — a factor to consider for community services and future investment dynamics.
