Grosvenor Drive, Hornchurch, Essex RM11

Grosvenor Drive, Hornchurch, RM11 £525,000 - £550,000.

Just Moovin are delighted to present this spacious three-bedroom family home, occupying an impressive plot on the highly regarded Grosvenor Drive in Hornchurch. Offering approximately 1,090 sq ft of internal accommodation, together with a 144 sq ft garage, the property combines generous living space with an exceptional rear garden extending to approximately 140ft, while also providing considerable scope for a purchaser to modernise, improve and create a superb long-term family home.

The property has clearly been well cared for over the years and retains a wealth of traditional character. Whilst the internal décor would now benefit from updating, this should be viewed as an opportunity rather than a drawback, allowing the incoming owner to refurbish the house to their own taste whilst working with an already practical and well-proportioned layout.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hallway leading into a particularly generous front reception room measuring approximately 14'11" into the bay by 12'3" maximum. The attractive bay window provides excellent natural light, while the traditional fireplace creates a natural focal point to the room.

To the rear is a separate dining room measuring approximately 12'7" x 11'3", again offering excellent proportions and providing direct access into the conservatory. This arrangement lends itself perfectly to family living, with the reception room and dining room providing clearly defined entertaining and relaxation spaces.

The kitchen measures approximately 9'4" x 8'7" and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, integrated cooking appliances and space for further appliances. Although currently traditional in its presentation, there is excellent potential to redesign and modernise the kitchen, with the existing layout also presenting possibilities for future reconfiguration of the rear accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

A particularly useful addition is the conservatory, approximately 18'5" x 5'2", which spans much of the rear of the property and provides an additional connection between the house and garden. A ground-floor WC completes the principal accommodation at this level.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an excellent size at approximately 15' x 11'2", while bedroom two measures approximately 12'7" x 9'11". The third bedroom, approximately 9'11" x 6'8", would make an ideal child's bedroom, nursery, study or home office. Built-in storage to the two larger bedrooms provides further practicality.

The first floor also benefits from a bathroom together with a separate WC, an increasingly useful arrangement for a family household.

An Exceptional Rear Garden

One of the property's most impressive features is undoubtedly its substantial rear garden, measuring approximately 140ft in length by 27'6" in width.

The garden is considerably larger than typically found with many modern homes and provides an established lawn, mature planting and shrubs together with a generous paved patio immediately behind the house. It creates a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining, children's play and gardening, while the sheer depth of the plot gives the property a genuine feeling of space.

The extensive plot may also offer exciting longer-term possibilities for extending or reconfiguring the existing house, subject of course to planning permission, building regulations and any other necessary consents.

An attached garage measuring approximately 18'4" x 7'10" provides valuable additional storage and further enhances the versatility of the property.

Location

Grosvenor Drive is a well-established residential address within Hornchurch and is particularly convenient for families. The immediate RM11 1PN area is well served by schools, with Towers Junior School and Towers Infant School approximately 0.3 miles away according to current area data.

Transport connections are also convenient. Emerson Park station is reported to be approximately 700 metres from Grosvenor Drive and is served by the London Overground, while Hornchurch provides access to the District line. The area also offers convenient access to Hornchurch town centre, local shopping and everyday amenities.

For recreation, the property is also well positioned for green open spaces including Harrow Lodge Park, adding further appeal for families and those who enjoy outdoor space.

A Home With Significant Potential

What makes this property particularly compelling is the combination of location, room proportions, garage and an exceptional 140ft rear garden. Rather than paying a premium for somebody else's refurbishment choices, purchasers have the opportunity to acquire a substantial family home and gradually modernise it to their own specification.

There may also be scope, subject to all necessary planning permissions and building regulations, to extend to the rear and potentially convert the loft, allowing the accommodation to evolve with the needs of a growing family.

With approximately 1,090 sq ft of accommodation, approximately 1,234 sq ft including the garage, three bedrooms, two separate reception areas, conservatory, ground-floor WC, garage and a truly outstanding rear garden, this is a property that offers considerably more than first meets the eye.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size of the plot, the proportions of the accommodation and the potential this home has to offer.
