## Description

The layout features a reception room and a separate kitchen on the ground floor, along with a spacious double bedroom and bathroom upstairs. While the house would benefit from modernisation, there’s plenty of opportunity for a buyer to add their own touches. Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and private, with side access from the front garden, which also provides a sense of separation from the road.

Chadwell Heath Station (Elizabeth Line) is around 1.3 km away, offering direct links to Liverpool Street and central London. Local bus routes and road access are also convenient.

Ideal for first-time buyers, investors, or those looking for a small project.

The agent has not tested any apparatus, equipment, fixtures, fittings or services. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the condition and working order of any items, and should rely on their own inspections, surveys and enquiries. Measurements, floor areas and distances are provided as a guide only and are approximate.

To comply with anti-money laundering regulations, buyers will be required to provide proof of ID and address, as well as evidence of the source of funds. A charge of £30 inc VAT per buyer or beneficial owner applies for anti-money laundering checks, payable upon acceptance of an offer

Accord Sales & Lettings also offers a lettings service. If you are considering renting your property, looking at buy to let, or would like a review of your current portfolio, please contact us using the details shown above.
