3 bed terraced house for sale

Collinwood Gardens, Ilford IG5

A charming and classically appointed three bedroom family terrace, already substantial but with plenty of potential to develop further. Some modernisation may be required here and there, but everything's move in ready and Gants Hill tube is just around the corner.

You have a wealth of social space, with the lengthy open plan reception and dining room also giving on to a glorious conservatory and of course that rear garden. With your loft space so far untouched, you can potentially follow your neighbour's lead and add your own whole new storey.

Gants Hill tube for the Central line is just half a mile on foot, for fast, direct and regular connections to the City and West End. Clayhall Park and Valentines Park are among the open green spaces within easy reach and even Epping Forest is just a little further.
Your new home


Stroll up your new sizeable driveway and access is via a handy storm porch. Great for bags and boots.

To the right your 150 square foot reception is graced with an oversized vintage mirror to go with the double glazed and leaded bay window. Smoky grey engineered hardwood runs underfoot and the first of two statement vintage light fittings sits overhead.

Moving to the rear, your softly carpeted dining room adds another 160 square feet, a second chandelier and still more natural light from your 140 square foot conservatory to the rear. Beautifully bright, naturally, with more smoky grey hardwood flooring, from here you have panoramic views of your garden.

And quite a garden it is, over seventy feet in length, with a broad patio giving way to an impressive length of lush lawn, with timber fencing and foliage down each flank. The sheer amount of space is significant.

A little green fingered attention out here can create the perfect setting for entertaining al fresco.

Back inside and your kitchen is finished in a mix of mixed pastel green tilework, white cabinetry and soft grey worktops. Smoky hardwearing vinyl flows underfoot, and there's a handy breakfast bar off to one side.

Next door your ground floor is completed by a handy, spare WC and utility cupboard.

Upstairs now, and soft grey carpet runs underfoot in the hallway and off into all three bedrooms.

Your principal bedroom sits to the front, naturally lit by another bay window, leaded and double glazed. Integrated wardrobes run from floor to ceiling either side of the chimney breast.

Next door you have a sizeable single of sixty five square feet currently in use as a crafts room, while to the rear there's another double with even more fitted storage. Always a welcome bonus.

Finally your family bathroom is smartly styled with large format white tilework, and of course with that loft to explore and extend (STPP) this is a home that can grow with you and yours.
