Description

"IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TODAY..."

As the name clearly suggests, FOREST COTTAGE occupies a rather unique, almost rustic setting, amidst a mature wooded environment, yet is truly accessible to all the surrounding facilities, that Woodford and Highams Park have to offer!

Set back from Oak Hill, screened by established trees, and overlooking a natural pond, with Forest land surrounding, this interesting Detached Period property represents a wonderful opportunity to 'complete' an unfinished project, with updating and refurbishment together with extension possibilities outstanding.

Within a short distance you can access the shopping facilities of Highams Park Village, including a mainline rail link to Liverpool Street, London (about 20 minutes journey time), some excellent Schools and wonderful Forest walks, whilst South Woodford's busy high street, also provides a central line underground service to the city and West End.

The existing accommodation briefly includes a lobby, hall, Cloakroom, W.C., 24' L shaped lounge, dining room, and kitchen to the ground floor, with the first floor accommodation offering a main bedroom with ensuite shower room/WC, two further bedrooms and a bathroom WC. The rear garden, which includes garaging, will require clearance and landscaping to fulfil it's doubtless potential!

Viewings are strictly by appointment only. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
