Beaufort Close, London

This bright and spacious one-bedroom apartment has been flawlessly designed with contemporary fittings that contrast perfectly with the ancient landscape of the nearby Epping Forest. As well as having Highams Park station a short stroll away, the ground floor apartment also benefits from easy access to both Walthamstow and Chingford, but to prove that you really can enjoy the best of both worlds, its direct location is a blissfully peaceful cul-de-sac.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

There’s been a lot of buzz about Highams Park since The Times described it as one of ‘the best places to live’, and for good reason - it’s proximity to Epping Forest as well as its thriving amenities give it a unique status within such a bustling capital city. As your home is set on a quiet cul-de-sac just 0.7 miles from the station, you can surely appreciate this more than anyone…

Step into your spacious hallway, where you’ve got a convenient built-in storage cupboard, and head into your bright open plan kitchen/reception, where the dual aspect windows ensure plenty of natural light. The decor is fresh and neutral.

Next door, the bathroom is just as fresh and modern, with sparkling fittings such as the over-tub shower. Finishing off the 357 square foot home is your double bedroom, which boasts the same neutral decor that you have in the reception.

All of this modern living contrasts beautifully with the vast amount of nature in the area. As well as having Epping Forest nearby, Highams Park itself is a short stroll away - home to a tranquil lake. By the station, in the neighbourhood’s hub, you can soak up a charming village-esque vibe (the quaint railway crossing and clock tower add to this), where there are plenty of cafes and bars to keep you busy.

It’s also only a short hop to Walthamstow for even more top-class amenities, plus the handy interchange to London Underground’s Victoria line from the Weaver Overground line. If you take this route directly from Highams Park to Liverpool Street, it’ll take 23 minutes - a nifty commute by London standards, we’re sure you’ll agree.

WHAT ELSE?

- Not sure where to start with your local amenities? How about Vino Tap, The Stag & Lantern Micropub, Biba & Wren, or Yaz? There’s also the convenience of a Tesco Superstore and other chains should you need essentials.
- Drivers can be on the North Circular in just a few minutes, and you’ve also got easy access to amenities in adjoining areas, such as Woodford and Chingford.
- Head west towards Chingford, where you’ll find some great outdoor pursuits around the River Lee’s reservoirs, including Lee Valley Athletics, Lee Valley Golf Course and the London Watersport Company, and even closer to home you’ll find Bannatyne gym.
