4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Castleview Gardens, Ilford IG1

This spacious and extended four-bedroom period house would be ideal for both families and investors. While the property is ready to move into, some updating may be desired to fully realize its potential, as it has been rented for the last 11 years. Currently it is on long-term rent to Redbridge Council with a new HMO License until 2029.

The ground floor features a double-glazed entrance porch, spacious hallway, two generously sized reception rooms, a separate fully fitted kitchen, a conservatory, and a convenient W.C. This layout provides ample space for both everyday living and entertaining.

On the first floor, you will find three large bedrooms, a fully tiled family bathroom, and an additional separate W.C. The loft has been thoughtfully converted to include an extra double bedroom with Velux roof windows, laminate flooring and an ensuite bathroom, offering additional privacy and comfort.

Additional benefits include a brick built self-contained outbuilding / annex at the end of the garden (accessible both from the garden and rear private service road), complete with electricity, hot water, sink, laminate flooring, and a modern ensuite shower room, ideal for guests or as a home office. The driveway at the front of the house provides convenient parking for two cars.

The property is in decent condition but offers significant potential for enhancement, making it a versatile and attractive opportunity for a variety of buyers.

If a potential buyer wanted to purchase the house for their personal use, then my current tenants would vacate the property. This process would only take between 1 to a maximum of 3 months (maybe even sooner), and not the usual long and drawn-out process requiring legal notices etc.

The property requires ground floor extension, and this has been reflected in the price.

Location

It falls within the catchment area of highly regarded schools, including Beal High School, Valentine High School, Wanstead High School and Redbridge Primary School, all just a short walk away.

Redbridge and Gants Hill Central Line Stations (Zone 4) are only a 7-minute walk, ensuring easy access to central London. For those commuting by car, the A406, A12, and M11 roads are conveniently close. Local bus services are within walking distance, offering straightforward routes to Wanstead, Gants Hill, Barkingside, Ilford Town Centre, and more.

Surrounded by parks, two nearby mosques and local amenities, this quiet residential area is perfect for families with children, first-time buyers, those seeking a larger family home, or investors.
