Description

This three-bedroom mid-terrace house, situated in the desirable Faircross Estate, presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. The property offers convenient access to Barking and Upney stations, along with nearby bus routes, schools, and local amenities. Inside, you'll find a through lounge that could benefit from modern design touches, a functional kitchen, and a modest rear garden. The first floor hosts three bedrooms and a bathroom that show signs of wear but have great potential with some updating. Notably, this house is chain-free and offers avenues for expansion such as extending outwards or converting the loft (subject to planning permissions). Given its prime location and the promise it holds for transformation, this could become an excellent family home with a bit of vision.
