IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll take great pride in approaching the home’s handsome frontage. Thanks to the previous owner’s imaginative renovation work, the property carefully balances the needs of modern living with the beauty of Victorian design, meaning you can enjoy it from the day you move in.

On the ground floor, the dual aspect double-reception is spotless with thoughtful touches such as the custom plantation shutters, which sit alongside the original fireplace and ornate beading. There’s plenty of space for dining, and the adjoining kitchen will be particularly convenient, with its smart tiling and stylish units. Here you can access your spacious garden, which is handily west-facing. It’s been tastefully landscaped, with a decked patio at the front and a charmingly paved seating area at the rear, as well as a lush lawn and shed.

On the first floor, you’ve got two immaculately decorated bedrooms (the front one has some fantastic in-built storage), as well as an impressive bathroom, which has both a freestanding tub and walk-in shower. In the loft, you’ll find a master bedroom with a Juliet balcony, eaves storage and a smart en-suite.

Outside, you’ll find the vast green space of Roding Valley Park mere metres away. In contrast to all this nature, you’ve got the amenities of George Lane right on your doorstep… Despite the peaceful village-esque ambience, this area is packed with shops, supermarkets (Marks & Spencer or Waitrose - take your pick), restaurants and bars, not to mention the Odeon cinema.

As for getting further afield, South Woodford station is just six minutes on foot. From here the Central line can take you to Liverpool Street in just another 20 mins. Certainly a speedy community by London standards!

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT....

"South Woodford was home for the first 25 years of my life. As I get older, I realise how lucky I am to have grown up here, an area with such fantastic schools, amenities and green space. George Lane is the main hub, where you’ll find the Central line station, as well as a great selection of supermarkets — M&S, Sainsburys, Waitrose and a Co-op. On top of this, is a fantastic choice of bars, pubs and restaurants, as well as an Odeon Cinema, library and gym. You really do have everything on your doorstep. Personal favourites for food include the Japanese restaurant Sakura, and the award-winning Indian Grand Trunk Road. South Woodford boasts a great stock of Victorian/ Edwardian family homes, as well as newer purpose-built blocks of flats and conversions, so attracts families and young professionals. It has great transport connections to the City and Canary Wharf, and with Epping Forest on your doorstep, it’s got theperfect balance of everything you need. My favourite local spots for walking are the Hollow Ponds, and the tucked away Elmhurst Gardens, with its two tennis courts. The nearby Woodford Dog Park is also a favourite, where both dog and owner meet up with their regular pals! All round, it’s a great place to call home."
