Description

WHAT A FIND! A spacious three-bedroom family home positioned on the ever-popular Leftley Estate, offering outstanding potential to modernise, extend and add value in a location where demand continues to grow.

The property provides a well-balanced and versatile layout, comprising two generous reception rooms that lend themselves well to reconfiguration, alongside a separate kitchen and a useful utility room adding everyday practicality. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a first-floor family bathroom, forming a solid foundation for enhancement.

Requiring modernisation throughout, the house represents an excellent value-add opportunity. Subject to the usual planning consents, there is clear scope to reconfigure internally, extend to the rear and/or undertake a loft conversion, in keeping with improvements already achieved by neighbouring properties on the estate.

The Leftley Estate continues to see strong and growing demand, driven by its established residential character, improving local amenities and excellent transport connections. In recent years, values across the estate have shown steady upward movement, particularly for properties that have been refurbished, extended or reconfigured to modern standards. This trend makes opportunities like this increasingly rare, especially for buyers looking to secure a foothold in an area where well-presented homes command a clear premium.

The property is well positioned for transport links, with Barking Station (District Line, Hammersmith & City Line and National Rail services) providing direct routes into the City and West End. Several reputable local schools, parks, and shopping facilities are also within easy reach, making this a practical and appealing location for families.

Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the potential this property has to offer.
