East View, Highams Park

A sprawling, epic and immaculate four bedroom 1930s semi detached, artfully extended far beyond the original architecture and backing onto the lush forestry of Larks Wood. Design and decor is flawless throughout, and Highams Park overground is just ten minutes away.

Incredibly, even with living space already so substantially developed, you still have scope to extend upwards, adding a whole new storey as some of your neighbours have done (subject to the usual permissions).

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Enviably sat right at the end of a peaceful cul de sac, your ornate, original frontage is nicely set back and elevated. Inside and your ground floor is almost entirely open plan, a through lounge flowing from the broad 1930s bow window all the way to the bifolding Crittal doors and sleek designer kitchen at the back, with tower radiators, exposed brick and a skylight en route. Rich dark engineered hardwood floors flow underfoot throughout, stepping down into the kitchen.

The kitchen is dual aspect, around 180 square feet and brightly finished with vintage geometrics underfoot and a comprehensive suite of sleek white seamless cabinetry lining the walls, home to integrated appliances and glossy, quartz worktops. A matching breakfast bar takes centre stage under a graphite extractor and designer pendulum lighting. A handy utility room complete with built in dog shower offers a second route to a covered seating area and garden. Out here your corner plot allows for a vast, fan shaped lawn, overlooked by nothing but the mature greenery of Larks Wood.

Upstairs and your bespoke principal suite is the star attraction. The bedroom itself is softly carpeted in grey and finished in white, over 300 square feet, dual aspect with a Juliet balcony and leafy green views. There's a skylit, dedicated dressing room and a sparkling en suite wet room, metro tiled from top to bottom, with a tub and rainfall shower. Elsewhere you have two more substantial doubles, similarly styled, plus a generous single currently in use as an office. The family bathroom, with a tub and shower in slate and white, completes things.

Your enviable, peaceful cul de sac and lush green backdrop are a world away from the bustle of the capital. Nonetheless, with Highams Park overground and its direct links to the City less than a half a mile away on foot, you can be in Liverpool Street as little as thirty minutes after stepping out your new front door. Just across from the station you'll find some charming local gems, Vino Tap for carefully curated vintages and the Stag & Lantern Micropub for craft ales. There are also plenty of excellent local schools.

WHAT ELSE?

- Your new local is The Larkswood, named after the greenery at your back, but affectionately known as The Larky. Great food and drink plus a lovely beer garden, all less than ten minutes' walk.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"Around the corner from the office are The Stag and Lantern and Vinoramica, perfect spots for all your alcoholic needs. If you fancy a nice coffee pop into Biba & Wren Coffee Shop. My favourite local walk to where I live is through Epping Forest from Highams Park to Chingford Plains, ending at The Butlers Retreat. If you fancy a bike ride The Lea Valley is expansive and offers plenty of different routes in and out of London. The area is the perfect halfway house, offering all the benefits of London but with the green space and community feel of a countryside village! I also love the variety of different architecture on offer throughout E4.”
