IF YOU LIVED HERE…

A handsome 1930s house with a crisp white frontage, red brick detailing and a sage green front door set beneath a smart gabled porch. The broad paved approach gives a confident sense of arrival, with bay windows and white shutters adding character.

Warm herringbone flooring begins in the hallway and continues into the reception room, where a wide shuttered bay, fireplace and built-in shelving create an elegant, welcoming setting. Glazed French doors bring a gentle flow through to the kitchen / diner beyond, giving the ground floor a lovely sense of connection.

At the rear, the kitchen / diner is the heart of the home, arranged around a generous island and opening directly to the garden through bifold doors. Twin skylights draw in natural light, while rich blue cabinetry and a spacious dining area give the room personality and warmth. A separate utility room and WC sit just off this space, adding valuable everyday practicality.

The garden is a real highlight, richly planted with a broad lawn, mature planting and leafy outlooks that create a wonderful sense of escape. A paved terrace offers space for outdoor dining, while a path leads down to the timber-clad studio at the far end, an adaptable garden room for work, creativity or a separate place to unwind.
Across the first floor are three comfortable bedrooms with a soft, neutral finish, including a lovely front bedroom with a wide bay window, shutters and excellent built-in wardrobes. A spacious bathroom completes this level, with a bath beneath the window and a separate shower.

On the top floor, the bedroom has a wonderfully private feel, with skylights drawing light across the room, fitted wardrobes, a Juliet balcony and far-reaching outlooks. An en suite sits naturally within the layout, making this a quietly impressive retreat.

The surrounding area adds plenty of day-to-day appeal, with Epping Forest sitting just moments away for woodland walks, running routes and an exceptional green expanse. Close by, Brick Lane Bagel Co. is known for its filled bagels and quick casual menu, while Wilsons Fish & Chips brings award-winning fish and chips to the local mix. Shaw’s Butchers is another useful neighbourhood staple, known for quality produce, and the Rusty Bike Pub brings together a local pub setting with a Thai-led food offering. The newly refurbished Royal Forest adds a more elevated pub option, with multiple terraces and a pub menu, while nearby restaurant Gina has already been mentioned in the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide. Families are also well served by a choice of schools, including the sought-after Whitehall Primary School, nine minutes away on foot.
