Ashburton Avenue, Ilford, IG3

An Excellent Family Home with Fantastic Potential to Extend Further

This attractive 1930s-style, brick-built terraced house presents an excellent opportunity for family buyers seeking a spacious home in very good condition throughout, with the added benefit of considerable potential to further enhance and develop the accommodation. 

One particularly appealing feature is the rare gated rear pedestrian access, shared by just three properties and secured by two gates. This is an excellent practical advantage, providing convenient access to the garden for gardening equipment, landscaping, deliveries and future building or extension works.

Ground Floor

The property is accessed via a spacious entrance hall, featuring a front-facing window, stairs rising to the first-floor landing, a useful understairs storage cupboard and a separate guest cloakroom/WC.

Leading off the hallway is a fantastic-sized through lounge, providing an excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining. A large front-facing bay window, fitted with privacy glass, allows natural light to enter while maintaining privacy, while sliding patio doors to the rear create a pleasant connection with the garden.

To the rear, the property has been extended to provide an impressive L-shaped kitchen diner, offering ample space for family dining and everyday living. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of wall and base units, an integrated oven and hob, together with space for additional appliances. The rear bay area, featuring patio doors opening onto the garden, creates a particularly attractive dining space with a pleasant outlook outside.

First Floor

The first-floor landing provides a further staircase rising to the loft room.

The master bedroom is an excellent-sized double situated at the front of the property, benefiting from a large bay window with privacy glass. Bedroom two is a similarly generous double room, positioned to the rear and featuring a bay window that allows plenty of natural light to flood the space. Bedroom three is a single room, also positioned to the front, with a bowed window. 

Completing this floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a shower bath, wash hand basin and WC. Two rear-facing windows provide natural light and ventilation.

Loft Room

A real highlight of this property is the substantial loft room, accessed via a fixed staircase from the first-floor landing. The room benefits from a large rear-facing skylight and a smaller skylight to the front, together with useful eaves storage and an additional storage cupboard over the stairwell.

Despite not having a dormer extension, the room offers impressive proportions and provides a versatile additional space that could readily serve as a fourth bedroom. For those looking to maximise the accommodation further, the loft also presents an exciting opportunity to investigate a formal loft conversion, subject to the necessary consents and building regulations.

Rear Garden and Outbuilding

The rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind, featuring a raised decked patio, a pathway leading towards the rear and an artificial lawn. This creates a practical outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying time with family without the demands of extensive garden upkeep.

The garden also benefits from a useful outbuilding measuring approximately 4.16m across by 2.38m deep, providing excellent additional storage. The outbuilding has a window and a door opening onto the garden and has been fitted with an electrical supply. Further lighting and socket installation would be required to make full use of its potential, with any work to be completed by a suitably qualified electrician.

The gated rear pedestrian access is an especially valuable feature, offering practical access for garden maintenance and making future improvement works considerably more convenient.

The area provides convenient access to both Ilford and Barking, making it a practical choice for commuters and families alike.
