IF YOU LIVED HERE...

The front reception sets the tone with a broad bay window, dark timber flooring, intricate ceiling plasterwork and an ornate fireplace with wood-burning stove. Rich blue walls add depth, while the adjoining kitchen is finished with pale green cabinetry, glazed wall units, warm-toned tiled splashbacks and a central island, with an integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher neatly incorporated into the design. Beyond, the second reception provides another relaxed living space, opening into the conservatory and onwards to the rear garden. A pantry and separate cloakroom with shower complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are doubles. The large front bedroom has stripped floorboards, a wide bay window, decorative cornicing and a bold blue and ochre palette. Another bedroom has deep-toned walls and an ornate tiled fireplace, while the rear bedroom is finished in softer colours with stripped timber flooring, a fireplace and its own ensuite shower room. The family bathroom pairs a freestanding bath with a separate curtained shower, specialist Italian waterproof floral wallpaper, dark marble surfaces and brass fittings.

The rear garden extends to around 12 metres according to the floorplan, with established trees and planting around the boundaries and a gravelled seating area towards the far end. There is also further potential to extend, subject to the usual planning permissions.

WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"I purchased the house nearly 14 years ago and I've loved living here. Doing it up has been a labour of love, and i've changed the house quite a lot. I've moved the kitchen and created a kitchen/lounge/diner which is very much the heart of the house and a fabulous entertaining space. That leaves the second reception room as a great space for chilling out, watching TV or reading. There's a special spot for every activity here! I've turned the conservatory into a gorgeous hideaway, perfect for a morning cup of tea and the newspapers in the morning light. There used to be four bedrooms, but one was tiny, so i made the third bedroom larger and added an en-suite. The house is really generous in its proportions. I've never needed more space, but the loft is huge and someone could do something really exciting up there! Everyone in Woodstock Road is absolutely lovely and there's a great sense of community. There are lots of young families and good friendships here. I think the Forest Road end of Woodstock is going to be closed off which will make it even nicer. Epping Forest is literally five minutes walk away. I'm there every day with the dog. Wood Street just keeps getting better and better, with lots of independent cafes and bars, as well as the legendary Flower Pot pub! There's something for everyone, and everyone is welcome."
