Hale End Road Highams Park , E4 9PB

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll step past that lovely brick frontage to find a still more impressive sight. Your striking, stately entrance hall is bursting with vintage charm, from the chessboard timber flooring to the original open staircase and a wealth of ornate woodwork. The first of your twin receptions is on your right, 170 square feet with timber floorboards underfoot and elegant original mouldings in the high ceiling. Timber shutters adorn the large bay window and there's a striking ebony hearth in the chimney breast.

Your second reception to the rear is every bit as sumptuous, full of vintage character with French doors leading directly out to your rear garden. Out here a generous patio descends to rows of thriving beds, ending in a charming trio of pastel huts. Back inside and your kitchen is a delight with dual, stained glass aspects, pine cabinetry, slate grey flooring, matching countertops and a Belfast sink. There's lots of room for dining too.

Climb that impressive, open staircase for a large landing, and your substantial principal bedroom. Over 200 square feet and gloriously bright, with natural light pouring in through vast window sets, finished in vintage timber trim. The heritage of this gorgeous property is very much in evidence here. Both remaining bedrooms are sizeable doubles, finished in the same characterful style, while the family bathroom is home to a freestanding clawfoot tub and elegant classic suite.

Outside, and the River Ching winds its way through woodland just a couple of minutes from your front door, while the rolling greenery of Highams Park unfolds less than half a mile stroll away. Here you'll find the tranquil blue waters of Highams Park Lake and gorgeous views over London. Despite your leafy green location you're within easy reach of the City - Highams Park station is less than five minutes away and will get you directly to Liverpool Street in twenty three.
