IF YOU LIVED HERE…

If you’re not already familiar with this neighbourhood, it’s easy to see why it’s so highly sought-after, with its tree-lined streets and enviable position between the vibrant amenities of Leytonstone and the peaceful nature of Epping Forest.

Inside, the reception room has been beautifully preserved, featuring original timber floorboards, a striking original fireplace, and an abundance of natural light from generously sized windows. Custom-built shelving and a space-saving column radiator add both charm and practicality.

Light flows seamlessly through to the open-plan style kitchen, which is spacious enough to accommodate an island and is fitted with stylish units, brass fittings, and high-spec integrated appliances. The elegant theme continues in the pristine bathroom, where a tasteful contrast colour scheme complements the spacious walk-in shower.

Both bedrooms are immaculate, with the rear one benefiting from built-in storage and direct access to the generous rear garden. Here, you’ll find a large lawn and a sun-trap patio, a true extension of your living space in warmer months.

As for the location, you’ve hit the jackpot. You’re a short walk from the much-loved taqueria Homies on Donkeys, winner of BBC Two’s Britain’s Top Takeaway, while the thriving Grove Green Road neighbourhood is a similar distance, offering further highlights such as the eclectic, multi-purpose Filly Brook.

You’re also within easy reach of the desirable Bushwood area, home to more local favourites including the North Star, a welcoming pub renowned for its winning combination of Thai food and pizza.
