While now in need of comprehensive refurbishment throughout, this period home offers a superb opportunity for buyers to reimagine and restore it to a high modern standard. Although many of the original features have been lost over time, the property retains its classic Victorian proportions and layout, providing an excellent foundation for a full renovation. There is also strong potential to extend into the loft and to the rear (subject to the usual planning consents), making this an exciting prospect for those looking to add value and create a bespoke home in a sought-after East London location.

Accommodation
The property is accessed via a traditional entrance hallway leading to two reception rooms arranged in a classic Victorian layout. The front reception room offers a good-sized living space, while the rear reception room provides additional living or dining space and leads through to the kitchen area. The layout offers flexibility for reconfiguration, including the potential to create a more open-plan ground floor arrangement if desired.
The existing kitchen, positioned at the rear of the property, requires replacement and presents an opportunity to design a contemporary kitchen/dining space. There is also clear potential to extend across the full width of the property to create a larger, more functional family space, subject to planning permission.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises two double bedrooms of good proportions, both benefiting from natural light. A family bathroom serves this level and is in need of updating, allowing the new owner to install modern fittings to their own specification.
The loft space provides excellent potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, such as a principal bedroom with an en suite, subject to planning and building regulations - a highly desirable enhancement for properties of this style in the area.
Outdoor Space
To the rear is a private garden that currently offers a blank canvas for landscaping and improvement. The space provides scope to be transformed into an attractive outdoor retreat, ideal for relaxing, entertaining or family use. There is also potential to extend the ground floor into the garden, creating a larger kitchen/family room that connects seamlessly with the outdoor space, subject to the necessary consents.
