IF YOU LIVED HERE…
Arriving home, you step into a central hallway where a useful storage cupboard sits neatly to one side, alongside a discreet utility cupboard housing a Bosch washing machine and Bosch tumble dryer. The reception opens out with an easy sense of flow, its generous proportions and Karndean flooring creating a warm, harmonious atmosphere. Sunshine streams in through expansive windows and glazed doors, guiding the eye towards the balcony and drawing the outdoors into the heart of the home.

The balcony offers a delightful extension to the living area, with room for a small table and chairs. Surrounded by greenery and with a backdrop of treetops and rooftops, it provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee or an evening pause.

The kitchen is bright and well-balanced, with pale cabinetry, marble worktops, and a fully integrated dishwasher forming a clean, modern backdrop. Open shelving adds a touch of character, while a wide window welcomes in daylight to create a pleasant cooking environment. The main bedroom feels calm and airy, its broad window framing leafy outlooks and allowing space for a variety of furnishings. The second bedroom is equally inviting, its simple layout making the most of its proportions.

The bathroom continues the home’s fresh, neutral palette, with tiled walls and flooring enhancing the sense of brightness. A fitted bath is complemented by a window that brings in both light and ventilation.

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.”
