IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll be impressed the classic mid-century design of this development, and the lush communal grounds showcase things perfectly.

Once inside, you’re led into a bright reception room. Generous windows draw in plenty of natural light, while the considered decor creates a warm setting. Thanks to the L-shape design, there’s a great sense of space, with room for both relaxing and dining.

The kitchen sits just off the reception room, and has been finished in a smart contemporary style, with sleek units and high-spec appliances.

You’ve also got two well-proportioned bedrooms, both immaculately finished and offering useful built-in storage. The bathroom continues the smart feel, with storage and an over-bathtub shower.

Outside, the wider neighbourhood gives you plenty of opportunities to escape into the greenery. Highams Park itself is just a short stroll away, with its peaceful lake, flower meadows and the popular Humphry’s cafe, while the vast and historic Epping Forest is close enough for regular walks, runs and weekend adventures.

When it comes to local life, the area has a distinctly village-like feel, helped by the charming railway crossing and clock tower. You’ll find plenty of spots to eat and drink, including Vino Tap, The Stag & Lantern Micropub, Biba & Wren and Yaz, alongside convenient options such as Tesco Superstore for everyday essentials.

Transport is another major attraction. Highams Park station is only a very short walk away, with Weaver line trains taking you to Liverpool Street in under 25 minutes. You’re also just two stops from Walthamstow, where you can change for the Victoria line, while local bus routes and cycle routes make getting around straightforward.
