Thorpe Road, Barking

With four double bedrooms in a handsome Victorian terrace, this home offers 1,185 sq ft of space before you even count the cellar or the already converted loft. There’s still room to add your own touches, making it a solid choice for families, first-time buyers, or investors looking for potential. Just a five-minute walk to Barking Station—with Underground and Overground connections—it’s well placed for easy commuting. Even better, it’s chain-free, so you can get moving without delay.

IF YOU LIVED HERE,,,
On a quiet residential street sits this cream-fronted terraced home with more space than first impressions suggest.

The double reception stretches over 27 feet, open from front to back, with light streaming in from a bay window at one end and French doors at the other. Those doors lead straight out to the garden, making the most of the indoor–outdoor connection.

Below, a 24-foot basement is a rare bonus — the kind of space you never knew you needed until you start stashing away camping gear, suitcases, and seasonal decorations with room to spare.

The kitchen is bright and practical, with shaker-style cream cabinetry, warm wood worktops, and a breakfast bar for quick bites or casual chats while cooking. Just beyond is the bathroom, where a freestanding tub invites slower evenings, and a walk-in shower covers the quick getaways. Patterned floor tiles bring a touch of character to the clean, white space.

Upstairs, you’ll find the first of three generous doubles. The largest, at the front of the house, spans its full width, with built-in alcove storage on either side of the chimney breast, each fronted by louvred doors. A bay window, paired with an extra side window, keeps the room bright, while plush carpet underfoot makes those first steps out of bed much easier. The second double also has louvred-door storage, and the third overlooks the garden, catching the first of the morning light from its easterly aspect.

The loft room is another pleasant surprise — a versatile space with wooden floors, soft eau-de-nil walls, and more clever built-in storage. A Velux window frames a slice of sky, while the ensuite, finished in slate-grey tiling, offers a walk-in shower for easy mornings.

Outside, there’s real scope to shape your own outdoor haven. A smart, elevated paved terrace leads down to a blank canvas, anchored at the back by a mature fig tree offering natural shade. The space in between is yours to define—whether that’s a lush lawn, a productive veg patch, or low-maintenance paving for easy living.
