IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Approach the classic front facade of your home, step through the front door and turn right into the reception room. This classic Victorian space, updated with modern finishes, is bathed in natural light from the bay window. The walls are elegantly finished in slate grey, complemented by ornate crown moulding. Original wood flooring stretches underfoot, and a large, vintage fireplace stands as the focal point. Adjacent, you have a generous sized utility room, along with a storage area and single WC finished in slate blue.

At the rear, your kitchen and dining area is exceptional, featuring an open flow design, abundant natural light, and bespoke finishes. Painted in blush pink with original wood floors underfoot, the kitchen includes a classic Smeg range cooker, navy blue cabinetry, brass hardware, and striking marble worktops that extend into the splashbacks. The dining space overlooks the garden through oversized, teal framed windows and patio doors, while a vintage fireplace adds original character. You also have a cellar downstairs.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We fell in love with the character features of this house when we first saw it: the high ceilings, large windows, cornicing, oversized fireplaces, but it needed a lot of updating. We have been carefully renovating it for the last five years and paying attention to all the small details to make a home that we will be really sad to leave. We opened up the garden room and the kitchen, and moved the downstairs toilet to make a utility/coat storage space connected to the kitchen, which makes a big through living space opening up onto the garden which is perfect for a young family. We have also seen the neighbourhood grow and change in the few years since we've lived here, we've made lots of friends we will be sad to say goodbye to. We often bump into people at the local coffee shop or pub at the end of the road. It's easy to meet other local parents, there is a strong community vibe centred around Francis Road, most recently with the Francis Road festival. We usually explore bits of Epping Forest on weekends, whether the Tea Hut at Wanstead, or Knights Bushes at Buckhurst Hill. For a variety of reasons we are moving out of London, but if we weren't we would definitely remain in this house and this neighbourhood - we are sad to leave!"
