IF YOU LIVED HERE…

This double-fronted home retains much of its original character, including a gabled bay, decorative detailing and leaded windows. Alongside the garage, the paved driveway offers space for an additional car—blending period charm with everyday function.
Inside, the central hallway sets the tone with its roomy proportions and high ceiling, leading to both reception rooms, the kitchen, and the staircase to the first floor. There’s built-in storage under the stairs and scope to create a warm, characterful entrance. At the front, the main reception room is bright and airy thanks to the wide bay window. The original fireplace adds a distinctive focal point. To the rear, the second reception opens onto the garden via French doors and could, subject to planning, be connected to the kitchen to form a contemporary open-plan layout.
The kitchen enjoys garden views and direct access outside. It's well-lit and offers ample potential for a complete redesign. The garden, accessible from both the kitchen and rear reception, is a generous space with a mix of lawn and established planting, perfect for landscaping or extension (STPP).
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a large bathroom. The principal bedroom spans the front with a curved bay and impressive proportions. The second bedroom overlooks the garden, while the third—also front-facing—is a bright single room with a charming bay window.
The surrounding area offers a strong mix of green spaces, amenities and a friendly local feel. Just a short distance away, Highams Park has a thriving hub of cafés, shops and The Stag & Lantern pub, a favourite for relaxed drinks or dining.

Larks Wood, a little further afield, provides a peaceful woodland setting with walking paths and open ground. Families are well served by excellent local schools, including Selwyn and Ainslie Primary Schools, both just over ten minutes’ walk away.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

“I enjoy the outdoors as well as the hustle and bustle of the city, so Chingford is the perfect spot. With Epping Forest on the doorstep, cycling, hiking and exploring are only a hop away. The amazing transport links can take you into the city in less than half hour.
With Chingford Mount and North Chingford to choose from for a pub, restaurant and café means you’re spoilt for choice. The Rusty Bike is a personal favourite to grab some Thai food, have a beer or the watch sports.
The Kings Head is great for Weekends. The beer garden is perfect in the summer and in the colder months you can warm up inside with a roast dinner.
The diversity of the locals is what makes Chingford great — there are loads of international takeaway restaurants and supermarkets, where I’m constantly discovering new tastes and flavours.
The perfect evening spot for dog walking is Yates Meadow, where you can see across the city vista for miles. The tranquillity of the hills with the high-rise buildings in the distance creates a juxtaposition that feels really special.
Chingford has something to offer for almost every buyer. From stunning period properties overlooking golf courses or Epping Forest. To brand-new builds perfect for getting on to the property ladder for first time buyers.”
