Derby Road South Woodford , E18 2PY

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll be luxuriating among a huge array of highlights. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by whitewashed original timber floorboards underfoot, with smoky stone carpet on the timber staircase rising ahead of you. On your right is the first of several splendid hosting spots, your twenty six foot deep through lounge. Rich, dark vintage hardwood runs underfoot, with ornate cornicing overhead. Dual aspect for plenty of natural light, twin vintage hearths and mantels make for a pair of fine focal points.

To the rear and your open plan kitchen/diner offers another superb sociable spot. In here you have blonde Karndean flooring running the entire twenty seven foot length of the space, with a bay window illuminating the pristine dining area. Your kitchen features opposing flanks of soft green and stone cabinets, with solid timber worktops, oversized Stoves oven and double Dublin sink. Patio doors open to the garden, an artfully arranged, split level blend of patio, curvaceous beds and lawn. There's a handy shed and charming love seat at the end.

Back inside and upstairs for the first set of sleeping arrangements – a pair of sumptuous double bedrooms with the generous 190 square foot principal to the front. Both offer substantial floor to ceiling wardrobes and distinct colour palettes. Your family bathroom's an immaculately elegant affair, with rainfall shower over the tub, metro tilework and vintage fixtures. There's also a handy extra WC next door. Head upstairs again for the original second storey, offering two skylit sleepers to the rear, plus a lovely dual aspect bedroom to the front.

As noted, this is a rarely available find on one of Woodford's most sought after no through roads. Stroll along your peaceful, tree-lined street and the epic open greenery of Epping Forest is less than five minutes from your new front door. Here you can wander all the way to Highams Park in the North, Hollow Ponds to the South, or simply to your heart's content. All with barely a road in sight. You'll forget you're in London.
