" A good-sized family home with considerable potential in need of internal updating and close to local schools and other amenities.

Overall Description This semi-detached 1950s property has considerable potential for internal updating and general modernisation (kitchen, bathroom, decoration, floorings) and may even have scope for extension and modification (subject to consent) of the internal layout - as many others have done along the street - to create a lovely, even more spacious family home close to local schools, shops and other amenities. The house has been in the same family since the 1950's and currently has a front porch, decent sized entrance hall, sitting and dining rooms, kitchen with pantry and downstairs cloakroom, with three good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. There is a large front garden with scope to create a large parking area, though permission would be needed from the council to drop the kerb as next door have done. A path leads through a gate to the large and private back garden with brick shed. The property is being sold with no forward chain. Location The house sits in an elevated position with views to Canary Wharf in a pleasant residential area of Romford, just a short walk to a handy row of local shops and around a mile away from some of the bigger chains such as Tesco Extra, B&Q, Next, etc. There are very good schools in the immediate area, so walking distance away, such as Marshalls Park Senior School, Rise Park Infant School and Parklands Junior School (all of which are in the catchment) as well as the St Edwards C of E Primary School. Raphael Park with its lake and pleasant walking is a short walk away and a little further on is Risebridge Golf Course, Gidea Park Sports Ground. There are very good transport links locally with the A12 and local bus stops just a couple of minutes up the road, and Romford Railway Station just over a mile away with regular trains to Liverpool Street in around 30 minutes.
