Description

This three-bedroom Victorian terrace is arranged over two floors and provides approximately 847 sq ft of accommodation. The ground floor has a hallway with period cornicing and herringbone-effect LVT flooring, a front reception room with a bay window and feature fireplace, and a separate dining room. The kitchen is fitted with dark wall and base units, an integrated fridge-freezer, electric oven and induction hob, with tiled splashbacks and flooring. Understairs storage is also provided. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom across the front of the house with fitted storage and a feature fireplace, a second double bedroom and a third room suitable for a range of uses. A contemporary shower room completes the first-floor accommodation. There is also a separate WC outside. The rear garden is described as low maintenance, with scope to add planting. The listing notes potential to extend to the rear and into the loft, subject to the necessary consents. Leytonstone High Road Overground and Leytonstone Underground stations are nearby, with local bus links, shops, cafés and green spaces also within reach.

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a characterful Victorian terrace with period fireplaces and cornicing, bright reception rooms and a clean, contemporary finish. The photographed kitchen and shower room also appear modern and well kept, so the project here is more about personalising the home and making the most of its outdoor or extension potential than taking on a major refurbishment. The rear garden’s overgrown planting offers a straightforward improvement opportunity.

At £580,000, the asking price is around 6% above the local £/sqf average, so price is not a particular advantage. Purchase plus works costs also look tight against local benchmarks, which tempers the appeal for a project buyer despite the property’s good condition and period character.

Key opportunities

  • Retained fireplaces, cornicing and bay-windowed reception rooms give the home distinctive period character.
  • Clear the overgrown planting and refine the rear garden to make better use of its patio and paved areas.
  • The listing identifies potential to extend to the rear or into the loft, subject to necessary consents.
