Chingford Lane Woodford Green , IG8 9QW

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You'll be dining and reclining in your dual aspect, twenty three foot deep open plan living space. The dining area's home to stately emerald green walls contrasting with the vintage fireplace and bare brick chimney to fine effect. A half-shuttered bay window ushers in a wealth of west-facing natural light. Follow the honey-toned timber floorboards through to the lounge area for plenty of built-in storage and a garden view. Next up and your dual aspect kitchen's just as covetable - in here a gleaming suite of cream cabinets flank white metro tiled backsplashes and solid wooden worktops, plus a Belfast sink takes pride of place.

Step outside - past a handy WC - for your east-facing, twenty seven foot split-level rear garden. It's a sublime solace with a pergola over a fairy lit timber deck, and a raised lawn bursting with thriving beds. Back inside and on the first floor your principal bedroom comes in at a huge 170 square feet with twin windows, stone blue walls and luxury wallpaper, while bedroom two's a solid 100 square foot double with a cosy carpet and garden view. Lastly, the family bathroom's brimming with boutique chic - glazed tiles in a New York Pink palette run from floor to chest height, you've a standalone tub and walk-in rainfall shower.

Outside, and despite your rural, leafy locale you're in easy reach of the City. Woodford tube station is thirteen minutes' walk and will get you directly to Liverpool Street in just twenty. Heading to the West End? Tottenham Court Road is just nine minutes further direct. If you're staying local, the greenery of Highams Park is half a mile on foot, anytime you want to immerse in nature. Enjoy the views over the lake with a superfood salad and hazelnut mocha. You can even pick up some ice cream for your furry friend in this dog-friendly spot.

WHAT ELSE?

- You have thirteen nearby primary/secondary schools rated 'Good' or better by Ofsted, five of these with 'Outstanding' status. For early years there's Monkey Puzzle, Elderberries, Adventure Babies and Barracudas Activity Day Camps.
- With your loft space so far unexplored, you could follow your neighbours' lead and add a whole new storey (subject to the usual permissions) making this a home that will serve your family's needs for years to come.
- Date night? Head to Pizzaria Bel Sit, just four minutes' walk on Woodford High Road. First opened in 1981 by Mario and Gina's grandparents, this family restaurant's gloriously authentic. Try the Linguini al Granchio filled with white crab meat, meat, garlic and chilli.
