Ilford grew quickly around the turn of the twentieth century, and much of it, with Seven Kings and Goodmayes to the east, is still street after street of Edwardian terraced houses with bay fronts. Further north, around Gants Hill, Newbury Park and Barkingside, the houses are mostly semis built between the wars. The town centre and the streets near the station have more flats, old and new. Ilford, Seven Kings and Goodmayes are all on the Elizabeth line.
In the Edwardian terraces the loft is the obvious place to grow: a rear dormer gives a full-height bedroom and often a shower room, and a side-return extension widens the kitchen at the back. The interwar semis have hipped roofs, which a hip-to-gable conversion squares off to make the loft usable, and room at the back for a single-storey extension. In flats the work stays inside: a kitchen, floors and decoration.
