Description

Located in the sought-after Poets Estate, this Victorian terraced house presents a significant opportunity for those looking to undertake a thorough renovation. While the property retains charming traditional features such as bay windows and spacious rooms, it is in need of extensive modernisation, allowing new owners to imprint their personal style and vision. The well-conceived layout offers ample possibilities for creating contemporary living spaces tailored to modern demands. Properties in this area have shown impressive resale value after high-quality refurbishments, indicating strong investment potential. The ground floor boasts a large through-lounge with high ceilings, perfect for restoring original period details for added character. At the rear, there's a generous kitchen and dining area that opens onto the garden, along with a separate utility room and guest bathroom on this level. This setup provides valuable options for a side-return or rear extension (pending planning approval) to achieve an expansive open-plan design. On the first floor, you’ll find a classic Victorian configuration featuring a spacious master bedroom overlooking the street, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. Other attributes include useful cellar space and an expansive rear garden that could accommodate creative landscaping or even a garden studio. Kensington Avenue is positioned in a peaceful neighborhood ideal for families and professionals alike. It falls within the catchment area of several highly-rated schools, including the 'Outstanding' Kensington Primary School. Residents also enjoy easy access to green spaces like Plashet Park and Wanstead Flats. The property’s transport connections are excellent, making it convenient for commuters heading into Central London: Manor Park Station offers fast services via the Elizabeth Line, while East Ham Station connects you directly to District and Hammersmith & City lines.
