Description

This five-bedroom semi-detached house is arranged over three floors and is described as extending to more than 2,300 sq ft. Harold Wood station, with Elizabeth line services, is around an eight-minute walk away, and the property is close to local amenities, schools and Harold Wood Park. The listing also notes views over nearby green space and a quiet cul-de-sac setting. The ground floor includes a large reception room, a kitchen and dining area, a utility room and a downstairs WC. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, a further single bedroom or office, a family bathroom with a walk-in shower, and an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom. The top floor is currently a large room with eaves storage and access to further loft space. The listing describes possible alternative layouts for this floor, including additional bedrooms or a self-contained dwelling; these are proposals, not confirmed works. Outside, the property has a west-facing garden of approximately 56 feet, off-street parking for two cars and a private garage. A rear extension is also mentioned as a possibility, subject to the relevant consents. The upper-floor layout and any extension or conversion would require feasibility and consent checks.

83out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £700,000, this five-bedroom semi-detached house is a strong-value acquisition: its asking price is 28.6% below the local average per square foot. The maintained garden, parking and garage add to the appeal, while the large reception room and generous top-floor space offer scope to refresh the dated carpets, wall finishes and textured ceilings. The kitchen and visible bathrooms appear usable, so the work looks more like a light update than a major overhaul; the indicative renovation range is £6,500–£18,000.

The top floor is a distinctive canvas for a different layout, but the listing’s illustrated alternatives are AI-generated, not approved plans. A rear extension is also subject to the relevant consents. The location near Harold Wood Station and the Elizabeth Line, with green space nearby, rounds out a compelling project with strong value fundamentals.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated carpets, decorative finishes and textured ceilings while keeping the serviceable kitchen and bathrooms in use.
  • Explore alternative layouts for the large top-floor room; the listing’s illustrated options are concepts, not approved works.
  • Make the most of the west-facing garden, off-street parking and garage, with rear-extension potential subject to consents.
