3 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in Davies Lane, Leytonstone, London, E11 3DR

Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000. A spacious three bedroom terrace house for sale chain free positioned on the Bushwood Borders. The property requires renovation but retains a host of original features, and includes two reception rooms, three double bedrooms and a large garden. Bushwood is known for its exceptional amenities and community feel.
An exceptional development opportunity with the potential to create a superb family home, the property is located on a tree-lined residential street with no through traffic. As you would expect from a property of this type, there are attractive architectural details to the façade, including full height, mullioned bay windows and a corbelled stone arch above the porch. A small front garden provides privacy from the street and leads to a glazed outer door, which takes you into a small porch. The porch retains its original ornate tiles and provides access to the main timber and glazed front door.
Through the front door, you’ll find a generous hallway with high ceilings, elaborate plaster mouldings, deep timber architraves and skirting boards, along with intricate turned balusters and newel posts to the stairs.
The first room to your left is a large through-reception room which can be accessed through either of two glazed doors. Split into two distinct spaces separated by a squared arch, there’s potential for increased separation into two independent rooms if required. The first half of the room, to the front of the house, benefits from the large south facing bay window which brings in abundant natural light. There’s an original fireplace and impressively deep, multi-tiered coving, highlighting the property’s hidden Edwardian grandeur.
Through the arch into the second half of the reception room you’ll find a twin fireplace to the one in the front, next to which is an original built-in storage and display cabinet. There’s also a door leading to the rear garden which includes stained glass panels and a large transom above, providing more natural light into this large family reception/dining room.
Return to the hall now and you’ll note the built-in under stairs storage cupboards, before entering the morning room through an original four panel timber door, a feature retained in many of the property’s rooms. This additional reception room features a large timber fireplace and a bay window which looks out to the side return of the rear garden.
The morning room leads into the kitchen which has a large window facing the side of the property and currently includes a series of laminated cabinets and worksurfaces. A door leads to a utility space which incorporates the combi gas boiler, providing hot water and central heating via radiators in most rooms. Through another door is a downstairs WC, which has its own door to the rear garden. From the kitchen there’s also a small vestibule which includes plumbing for a washing machine and leads out to the rear garden through a part glazed door.
The 80ft garden - exceptionally large for a property in this area - has the potential to become a fabulous family and entertaining space. There are already mature shrubs and trees, which afford privacy and could form the basis of a fabulous urban garden.
Back through the kitchen and morning room now, into the hallway and up the stairs to the spacious split level landing.
Straight ahead at the top of the stairs is bedroom three which is accessed via a short hallway, giving the room a sense of privacy and separation from the other rooms on this floor. This is a large double room which looks out onto the rear garden. Back to the landing and the next room, on the right, is the family bathroom, which has a pair of windows facing the side of the property. There’s currently a traditional three piece suit comprising a WC, a pedestal basin and bathtub.
Heading up the small set of stairs to the second level you’ll find bedroom two, to the right. This is another double room looking out towards the rear garden, currently fitted with built-in storage in one of the chimney alcoves and an attractive cast iron fireplace.
As you return to the landing, you’ll see another useful built-in storage cupboard before entering bedroom one. Located at the front of the property and encompassing its full width, this is a generous double room. Benefitting from the south-facing bay window and a second window above the porch, this is a bright room with the potential to be a real haven. There’s another ornate cast iron fireplace and the alcoves to either side would be ideal for bespoke built-in wardrobes.
Strip away the current cosmetics and imagine the incredible opportunities this spacious property has to offer – something to build for yourself, or as a fantastic investment.
