This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhouse located on Blackthorn Road in Ilford, Redbridge presents a mixed bag. The property’s key selling point is its location. It’s conveniently situated near several schools, including Woodlands Primary and Eastbury Community School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Transport links are also a plus, with Barking station only 1.2km away, providing access to c2c and the Overground, allowing for efficient commuting.

While the house benefits from a manageable garden, the property’s condition appears to be average. While not needing immediate major repairs, the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of age, and a refresh could improve its appeal. The interior photographs reveal a functional but somewhat dated aesthetic. A potential buyer should budget for some cosmetic upgrades.

Determining the exact value requires more detailed information on the average price per square foot of similar properties in Blackthorn Road, which isn’t provided. However, the listing price of £450,000 seems reasonably priced within the context of nearby houses, although some flats in the area sell for significantly less, reflecting a difference in property type. Potential buyers should thoroughly research the local market and compare this property against similar recently sold properties to make an informed decision. The limited plot size may be a drawback for buyers seeking a sizable outdoor space. Overall, the property presents an opportunity for someone seeking a reasonably priced family home in a convenient location. However, potential buyers must be prepared for some renovation and updating of some of the rooms.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
