The Avenue, London

If you’ve had Highams Park on the radar ever since the Times newspaper recently named it one of the ‘best places to live’, this could be the perfect apartment for you… Set on the first floor of a purpose built block, the two bedroom property has highlights aplenty, including the separate kitchen and reception, private garage, ample storage space and mid century style. The fact it’s on the market chain-free is just the icing on the cake.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

With over 800 square feet of internal space, this is a home you can really enjoying settling into and adding elements of your own personality when you’re ready. Due to huge south-west facing windows and generous proportions, the reception room has a bright and brilliant feel with mid century style. There’s plenty of room for working or socialising, and the separate kitchen will be extra convenient. The bedrooms are both spacious doubles, while next door you’ll find your contemporary bathroom, with a walk-in shower.

On warmer days, you’ll really appreciate the glorious and historic Epping Forest which is just a stroll away, as is Highams Park itself, which houses a tranquil lake, flower meadows and the fantastic cafe, Humphry’s.


Thanks to the railway crossing and clock tower, Highams Park has a distinctly village-esque feel, and the amenities are just as charming. Not sure where to start? How about Vino Tap, The Stag & Lantern Micropub, Biba & Wren, or Yaz? There’s also the convenience of a Tesco Superstore and other chains should you need essentials.

It’s only a short stroll to Highams Park station, where you can nip to Liverpool Street on the Overground in around 25 minutes. It’s only two stops on this line to Walthamstow, where you can change for the ultra-convenient Victoria line. The area is well served by buses and cycle routes too.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

The flat is in a small low rise development on a bus route and an easy walk to the station. The area is very friendly with lots of community engagement, and the nearby forest, lake and park are lovely to walk and relax in.

Lots of excellent independent cafés.
