Four Bedrooms, Four Decades Of Care, One Family Home Ready For Its Next Chapter. Extended, improved and loved by the same family since 1981, this three storey end terrace is just off Cherry Tree lane, with a private and pretty back garden and a garage. 

When a family stays in the same home for over forty years, it tells you something. This isn’t a house that’s been passed around or polished up for a quick sale.

It’s been added to carefully and looked after properly. And now it’s ready for someone else to make it their own.

The front garden leads to a porch and into the entrance hall, where the stairs rise ahead of you. Even here there’s character, with a cast iron radiator adding a subtle nod to the home’s history.

The lounge runs the full depth of the original house. It’s a comfortable room with light solid oak flooring underfoot and a real fire built by the current owner’s father, a feature that carries real meaning as well as warmth.

Double doors connect through to the extended kitchen-diner at the rear. This is where the house has evolved most clearly to suit family life.

The bespoke oak kitchen was designed to last, with granite worktops and integrated Siemens appliances including a gas hob,  double oven, washing machine and slimline dishwasher. 

There’s also an integrated fridge freezer and practical Antico flooring that looks great and works well for busy days.

The extension - completed in 2002 - created a dedicated dining space rather than having to squeeze around a small table. It’s easy to picture homework at one end and dinner prep at the other.

The extra space has also allowed the addition of a ground floor shower room with underfloor heating and a double shower. It’s ideal for guests, teenagers or simply easing the busy morning routine.

On the first floor, you’ll find two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both bedrooms have bespoke fitted wardrobes, so storage has already been thought through.

The loft conversion, completed in 2001, adds two further bedrooms on the top floor. It’s perfect for larger families, whether you need space for older children, guests or a home office.

Behind the scenes, the practical upgrades are reassuring. A Vaillant EcoTEC Pro 28 boiler was installed in 2019, a modern Hive heating system is in place and the consumer unit was replaced in June 2024.

The windows have been updated over time, with the front replaced in 2011 and the rear bathroom and bedroom windows more recently.

Outside, the garden wraps around the side and rear of the house - being an end terrace makes a real difference here.

There’s a patio, a fish pond and a low maintenance artificial lawn that catches the sun for much of the day. The sellers have spent years shaping it into a space that feels private and easy to enjoy, with two sheds for storage and side access you’ll appreciate on bin-day.

There’s a detached single garage at the rear, with an EV charger installed in November 2025. It’s currently used for storage but can accommodate a car, and there’s driveway space allowing parking for two vehicles around the back.

Located just off Cherry Tree Lane, this part of town has always been popular - and it’s easy to see why. Schools, shops and everyday essentials are close by, and you’re well placed for the A13, M25 and routes into central London.

Rainham station and Elm Park station are both within easy reach, with the 165 bus linking you into Romford or towards Abbey Wood. For commuters, it’s less than half an hour on the train to Fenchurch Street.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly home that’s grown in all the right ways, with space across three floors and a proven track record of care, this could be the one to see.
