Description

This Victorian terraced house presents a blend of spacious living and period character, ideal for those looking to invest in a property with extensive renovation potential. Featuring three generously sized bedrooms, the home's layout includes a bright double reception adorned with original features, and an open-plan kitchen that flows into an expansive garden measuring approximately 80 feet. Notably, this property boasts a private driveway and holds possibilities for expansion, subject to planning permission. A beautifully maintained façade leads you into a welcoming hallway that opens up to the ample reception area where natural light floods in through the bay windows. The high ceilings and decorative cornices add an elegant touch while polished wooden floors enhance the warm ambiance throughout. The rear kitchen space offers direct access to the garden, creating opportunities for updates that could further enhance its appeal and functionality. The long garden not only provides outdoor relaxation but also represents an excellent space for potential landscaping or extension projects. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are well-proportioned, filled with natural light, presenting ample opportunity for reconfiguration or styling to meet modern standards. The bathroom features thoughtful design but could benefit from modernization. Additionally, there is scope to extend into the loft (subject to planning), which could substantially increase living space by adding another bedroom or versatile room. Nestled within a vibrant East London neighborhood known for its community feel and accessibility to local amenities like cafés and parks, this property stands as a promising canvas for buyers eager to put their personal stamp on a classic home. With Forest Gate Station nearby providing excellent transport links, the location combines convenience with lifestyle advantages.
