Horn Lane Woodford Green , IG8 9AH

IF YOU LIVED HERE

You'll be basking in the handsome period features of your 195 square foot lounge. An elegantly shuttered box bay window sits to the fore, ushering in natural light across pristine white walls. Refined cornicing runs overhead and an exquisite Edwardian fireplace with timber surround takes centre stage. Follow the earthy tones through to your ninety square foot second reception - it's semi open plan, making the entire space dual aspect. Another shuttered window gives you your first glimpse of that incredible garden.

Back out into the hallway you'll pass your mint green shower room before landing in the 180 square foot kitchen/diner. In here matt white cabinets and matching metro tiled backsplashes sit against timber tones, and French doors open out to your south-facing and incredibly lengthy private garden. It's a beautiful solace. A generous patio area is zoned with a trellis adorned with climbing plants, all leading to the lushest, lengthiest of lawns, carefully curated beds and raised gardening beds backing onto a shed.

Upstairs you'll find four refined bedrooms - three doubles and a single, the sumptuous principal coming in at a substantial 250 square feet. There are more period fireplaces to discover on this storey, plus the family bathroom complete with a shower over the tub and mosaic tiled detailing. This substantial property can be developed skywards into the loft (subject to usual permission), making this a home that can grow with your clan. Lastly, this abode comes chain free, so you can move straight in.

Outside and you've plenty to see and do close by. Cut down Higham Road for Woodford Green itself. Take your pick from a delectable cluster of high end eateries (for brunch try the berry-covered pancakes at Mojos) here before heading into the endless acres of Epping Forest'. Follow the River Ching up through Hatch Forest and Whitehall Plain, ending up with a Sunday roast at the Queen Elizabeth gourmet pub, or coffee and cake at Butlers Retreat.
