Description

This spacious semi-detached residence, dating back to the 1920s, is located in a serene area of Chingford, offering substantial potential for both renovation and future expansion (subject to planning permission). Encompassing around 2,500 square feet, this property features a large private driveway and an integrated garage, catering to convenient everyday living needs. The home includes five bedrooms, a utility room, and a downstairs WC, making it suitable for families or as an investment opportunity for rental purposes. The south-facing garden extends 63 feet and promises ample scope for outdoor entertaining or further landscaping enhancements. The interior boasts classic elements such as herringbone flooring and ornamental fireplaces that can be retained or modernized according to personal taste. The dual reception areas provide flexibility with the potential for open-plan integration or retaining separate zones for leisure and formal gatherings. Additionally, the generous kitchen/diner area lends itself well to refurbishment; with bifold doors leading out to the terrace, there's significant potential to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living space. Upstairs presents five well-sized bedrooms, with the master having its own ensuite bathroom which could benefit from updates. The family bathroom is equipped with both a rainfall shower and a traditional claw-foot tub that may require modernizing. With close proximity to local parks, schools, and transport links including Chingford Station – just two minutes away – this property not only offers an appealing lifestyle but also represents an excellent investment opportunity in a desirable location.
