Westdown Road, Leyton, E15

A Victorian terraced family home with much potential for modernisation, extension or conversion into flats (STPP) in an excellent location a short walk from Leyton Underground Station.

Overall Description

This much-loved Victorian mid-terraced house has been in the same family since 1970 - 54 years - and sits in a very central residential location just a short walk from the centre of Leyton and the Tube stop. The house has been extended to the front to create an entrance porch and also has a hallway, open-plan sitting/dining room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, while upstairs there are three double bedrooms. The property would benefit from internal modernisation and also has potential for a loft conversion, either to create a larger family home or to sub-divide the house into two flats as others have in the street (subject to the usual consents). The house has double-glazed windows, an alarm and gas central-heating. It is being sold with no chain.

Location

This property sits in an excellent and very convenient location just a few minutes walk from the centre of Leyton with its tube station (on the Central Line to the City and West End) and all of the shops, supermarkets (including the Asda Superstore just around the corner) and other amenities in the immediate locality. The Downsell and Colegrave Primary Schools are a short walk away and secondary schools include the Chobham Academy and the George Mitchell School. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is just to the west of the house which leads to Hackney Marshes, so the property is perfect for sporty families or anyone loving green open spaces within an urban environment.
