Collier Row Lane, Romford, RM5 3NL

Offered chain free, this two bedroom cottage style home has an intimate feel and plenty of scope for a buyer to make it their own. With two double bedrooms, a substantial rear garden and off street parking, it could be a lovely first home or a comfortable choice for someone looking to downsize.

The entrance hall runs along the side of the house and provides direct access to both the main living space and the garden.

At more than 23 feet long, the lounge and dining room provides clearly defined areas for relaxing and eating without either feeling squeezed. The bay window brings natural light into the front of the room, where there is space for sofas and a television, while the far end sits closer to the kitchen and works naturally as a dining area.

The kitchen has a range of eye level and base level cupboards, together with plenty of worktop space for preparing meals. It would benefit from updating, but its size and existing layout give the next owner a solid starting point when planning a new kitchen. A door opens directly onto the garden, while a second door leads into the bathroom.

The bathroom is positioned on the ground floor, which is common in a cottage of this age and style, and contains a three piece suite with a bath and shower above.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, giving the house greater practicality than many homes aimed at first time buyers. Both can comfortably take a double bed alongside bedroom furniture, while one also has a range of fitted wardrobes. There is further storage located beside the landing.

The rear garden is one of the strongest features of the property. It begins with a block paved patio where there is room for an outdoor table, barbecue and seating. Beyond this is an established lawn with mature shrubs and planting, creating a garden that should appeal to anyone who enjoys spending time outside. A second patio area sits towards the far end and could become a secluded seating spot or potentially the site of a garden room or workshop, subject to any permissions required.

At the front, there is currently off street parking for one car. By changing the existing layout, there may be scope to create space for a second vehicle.

Clockhouse Primary School is approximately 0.3 miles away and Crownfield Junior School is around 0.7 miles away. Lawns Park is also around 0.3 miles from the house and offers open green space, a children’s play area and sports facilities. Romford town centre and rail station are within roughly two miles, with regular bus services available from Collier Row.

The house needs modernisation, but that's part of its appeal. For a buyer with vision, it offers the chance to create a home they can put their own mark on.
