Castle Avenue, Highams Park

A grand, statuesque and elegantly appointed four bedroom Victorian semi detached. Arranged over three storeys including an adjoining annexe and a vast wealth of sociable space. An enviable address just moments from Highams Park and station.

Highlights are everywhere but your rear garden is especially breathtaking. Around seventy feet in length, expertly landscaped with a broad, pristine patio leading to a mix of lawn and decking, home to a substantial summer house. Perfect for entertaining al fresco.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Step into your storm porch, and a kaleidoscope of stained glass in the doors, surrounds and transoms invites you into your broad hallway, with blonde hardwood flowing underfoot and natural light streaming in from all sides. Follow the hall round and your stairs rise ahead while the first of many reception rooms sits to the front. In here, soft pastel green walls run up to the picture rail, emphasising the high ceilings of the period. Original timber shutters sit on the bay window and a charming vintage hearth takes centre stage.

Across the hall, you can step into the first of your open plan social spaces, a 150 square foot dining room, with the blonde hardwood and pastel green palette continuing and flowing on into your rear reception, illuminated by a pair of oversized skylights set into the impressive, vaulted ceiling and a rear wall of bifolding patio doors leading to the garden. Laid open next door is another social space, dual aspect between dual windows and more bifolding rear doors, framing green views . A woodburner completes things in style.

Moving back towards the front, your kitchen's a grand affair in its own right, with smoky slate tiling underfoot and a suite of matching pastel green cabinets completed by glossy quartz worktops, metro tiled splashbacks and integrated stainless steel appliances. A skylit breakfast room is next door, with direct garden access and more lush views. A utility room and the annexe complete the ground floor. Upstairs now, for your first three bedrooms, all substantial doubles variously home to hardwood floors, vintage hearths, fitted wardrobes and oversized sash windows.

Your bay windowed principal sleeper also features an en suite, home to a walk in rainfall shower with a sleek metro tiled backdrop, slate grey vinyl tiling underfoot and twin vanity sinks. Your family bathroom sits just off the hall, with sandstone mosaic tiling and tub. Finally, head upstairs again, taking in more charming stained glass at the end of your landing, for the expansive 200 square foot loft suite, complete with skylit dressing area and a wealth of extra storage,

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"Highams Park, and especially Castle Avenue, has been the best place we’ve ever lived. During our time here, we’ve made lifelong friends – our neighbors are more like friends than just neighbors. The local area is unbeatable, with friendly bars and restaurants, a beautiful forest and lake right on your doorstep, yet still close to the city. We will be very sad to leave."
