Description

This distinctive double fronted terraced house, offered for sale for the first time since 1932, presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property that has been cherished by the same family for over nine decades. Retaining much of its original charm, this home features a practical layout that includes an inviting entrance hallway, a formal dining room rich in character, a spacious reception area, and a galley kitchen that is ripe for modernization. The first floor accommodates two generously-sized double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a shower room, and a separate WC.<br><br>Significant renovation potential abounds with possibilities for extending both at the rear and into the loft, pending necessary planning approvals. This would allow future owners to adapt the space to contemporary living standards while significantly improving the overall footprint of the home.<br><br>The exterior complements the property beautifully with a mature garden spanning approximately 75 feet; largely laid to lawn with established shrub borders and a patio area ideal for outdoor gatherings. Additional outbuildings include a workshop and a detached garage, which enhance functionality and provide versatile options for storage or hobbies.<br><br>Nestled within Babbacombe Gardens—a peaceful and desirable road—this location benefits from proximity to excellent transport links including Redbridge Central Line Station for quick access to central London. Families will appreciate being within reach of reputable schools such as Beal High School. This property represents an attractive prospect as it combines character with ample scope for enhancement in one of IG4’s most sought-after areas.
