This substantial and charming three-bedroom semi-detached family home is full of original features and offers fantastic potential throughout. Ideally situated on a prominent corner plot in North Ilford, at the junction of The Drive and Gloucester Gardens, it presents the perfect opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious character home to make their own.
Upstairs, the property offers three generously sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. The spacious landing features a deep front-facing bay window that floods the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy feel. There is also excellent potential for a loft conversion, subject to planning permission, offering further opportunity to expand the home.
On the ground floor, a charming front garden leads to an enclosed porch and a large, welcoming entrance hall with original wood block herringbone flooring. All rooms on the ground floor are accessed from the hallway. There are two spacious reception rooms, both with fireplaces, tall ceilings, and beautiful period detailing, ideal for entertaining or relaxed family living. The kitchen is a good size but would benefit from modernisation. The property offers excellent scope for single or double-storey rear extensions, subject to planning, making it a perfect long-term family home.
Throughout the home, you will find a wealth of original features, including solid wood doors, picture rails, dado rails, herringbone flooring, a grand staircase, and high ceilings. These features add warmth, charm, and timeless character to the property.
The rear garden extends approximately 80 feet and is mature and well established with a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees. It provides an ideal space for family barbecues, outdoor play, and quiet enjoyment. To the rear of the garden, there is a detached garage with secure gated parking in front, accessed via Gloucester Gardens.
The location is highly desirable, offering excellent access to Ilford, Gants Hill, and Redbridge stations. There are also several Outstanding-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, as well as the beautiful open spaces of Valentines Park. With fantastic road links into and out of London, this home is perfectly placed for both commuting and family life.
