Buxton Drive Snaresbrook , E11 1ST

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

The calm decor of your new home should’ve already set a relaxing mood (the front view of your building will provide enough reason to smile, which its smart brick work and amazing display of fauna in the communal grounds), but the fact that you can be at the cusp of Epping Forest before your kettle’s even boiled will be a novelty that never wears off.

There are acres of greenery to explore, so you’re unlikely to get bored, but there’s even the option of hiring a rowing boat at Hollow Ponds if you want some exercise with a difference.

Once you’ve enjoyed all the vast, open space, you’ll be pleased to know that there are plenty of food and drink-based amenities in the area. You’re nestled in a lovely spot between Wanstead and Wood Street, so you’ve got double the choice too.

In the village-esque hub of Wanstead and you’ll feel a world away from the city, with everything from horse riding, farmer’s markets, charming pubs and delis, while over on Wood Street you’ll enjoy the bustle of the thriving community, where highlights include beer shop-cum-bar Clapton Craft, tasty brunch spot Dudley’s and award-win bakery Chocolatine.

Grab a takeout from any one of the above and enjoy it in your spacious new reception/lounge, which is streaming with natural light thanks to the two generous windows, high ceiling and neutral decor.

The separate kitchen balances convenience with character thanks to its modern appliances and timber cabinets. The two bedrooms are both spacious doubles, and one has a contemporary ensuite with a walk-in shower. The other bathroom is just as sleek, and has an over-tub shower.

WHAT ELSE?
- Fancy a tipple with a view? The Sir Alfred Hitchcock Hotel - a nod to the area’s renowned export, is 12 minute stroll over Hollow Ponds and the perfect place to to watch the sun go down.
-Drivers, already pleased about the garage, will be happy to know that the North Circular is conveniently located, but not close enough to impact on all that peace and quiet.
- There are excellent sport facilities available at the nearby Sylvestrian Centre, which is located within independent school Forest School but accessible by the public via membership.
