4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Lord Avenue, Clayhall IG5

Bowden Bradley Estate Agents are delighted to present this impressive four-bedroom, double-fronted semi-detached family home, occupying a desirable position on the attractive and tree-lined Lord Avenue in Clayhall, Ilford.

Offering generous and versatile accommodation throughout, the property combines substantial living space, excellent kerb appeal and exciting future potential. Its attractive double-fronted design creates an imposing first impression, while the off-street parking provides convenient space for multiple vehicles.

The ground-floor accommodation begins with an entrance porch opening into a welcoming central hallway. The principal reception room is particularly impressive, measuring approximately 27’3 x 16’9. This exceptionally spacious and naturally bright room offers ample space for separate living and dining areas, making it ideal for everyday family life and larger social gatherings.

The separate kitchen/diner measures approximately 17’1 x 11’10 and provides a practical selection of fitted cupboards and work surfaces, together with plenty of room for a family dining table. Direct access to the rear garden makes this a convenient space for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. A useful ground-floor WC completes this level.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for a growing family. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room, while the remaining bedrooms could accommodate children, guests or those requiring a dedicated home office. A particularly generous family shower room completes the existing first-floor accommodation.

A significant feature of the property is its loft-conversion potential. Previous planning permission was obtained for a scheme involving front and rear dormers, with the proposed accommodation intended to create one substantial bedroom and an additional bathroom.

The previous planning permission has now expired. A purchaser wishing to proceed with the loft conversion would therefore need to submit a fresh application and obtain all necessary planning, building-regulation and associated approvals. Subject to renewed consent, the conversion could create an impressive principal-bedroom suite and further enhance the size, versatility and long-term value of this already substantial family home.

Externally, the property benefits from a well-maintained rear garden incorporating a patio area, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and family relaxation. A detached garden outbuilding offers valuable storage, while off-street parking for multiple vehicles is available to the front.
