Malmesbury Road, South Woodford

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Thanks to its first-floor position, the apartment enjoys an added sense of tranquillity, with leafy treetop views, abundant natural light and the benefit of improved energy efficiency.

High ceilings enhance the feeling of space throughout, particularly in the generous kitchen-living room, where a breakfast bar effortlessly defines the dining area. Smart units, high-spec appliances and bespoke carpentry combine with charming period details, including a fireplace surround and replacement sash windows.

A window in the hallway brings in even more natural light, while both bedrooms are bright, beautifully presented and peaceful. The contemporary bathroom is finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling and an over-bath shower. Outside, the private, secluded garden is a standout feature, thoughtfully landscaped with calming shingle, a decked patio and mature planting to create a wonderfully relaxing retreat.

Outside, and you can be exploring the wild natural greenery and wide open expanses of Epping Forest less than five minutes after stepping out your front door. Be sure to head for The Doughnut, a perfect circle of manicured lawn in the heart of the woodlands. As well its close proximity to Epping Forest, the home benefits from having Churchfields Park on its doorstep, a haven for families and dog walkers. It’s all so wonderfully green, you’ll easily forget that you’re only a short distance from Central London.

Meanwhile, down in South Woodford, you’ve also got a brilliant selection of supermarkets, including a Waitrose and M&S, and the area even has its own cinema, which is a mere ten minute walk away from your home. How about celebrating your move to E18 with a trip to Jones & Sons? Anyone who’s been to the original restaurant in Dalston will testify that this is fine dining at its best. A treat you’ll deserve after all that unpacking - and it’s just nine minutes on foot.
