IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll be stretching out in this one-of-a-kind, Victorian character home, with plenty of striking original features behind that charming rose pink brick facade. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by gorgeous rich blonde parquet flooring running underfoot in your 210 square foot through lounge. In here you have a smoky grey colour scheme punctuated by whitewashed timber beams up to the picture rails and handy open shelving. The vintage aesthetic is completed by a brick feature fireplace and timber mantel.

To the rear your kitchen is also bursting with charm. That parquet flooring gives way to lovingly restored original timber floorboards in here, and characterful forest green tilework rises from floor to mid-wall, serving as a splendid splashback, before giving way to gorgeous exposed brick. Royal blue cabinets sit below timber worktops, while your ground floor's completed by a contemporary bathroom to the rear. In here smart modern metro tiling runs from floor to ceiling, and you have a shower over the tub.

Upstairs now, where your 180 square foot principal bedroom is perhaps your most striking find yet. Original timbers are set into dramatic vaulted ceilings, subtly contrasting shades of white complementing the soft rose purple colour scheme, and blonde hardwood underfoot. Natural light streams in from the leaded window to the front, illuminating this impeccably characterful space. Bedroom two sits to the rear - another double with more vaulted ceilings, and bespoke integrated storage.

Outside and, as noted, you're barely five minutes on foot from Woodford's social hub of George Lane - home to all the day-to-day shops, supermarkets and amenities you could need, as well as a broad range of bars, cafes and restaurants. Our pick is the bright and welcoming Railway Bell. There's also the Art Deco Odeon cinema, less than ten minutes' stroll for film buffs. South Woodford tube station is just a third of a mile on foot, and will get you directly to Liverpool Street in eighteen minutes via the Central line, for a door-to-door City commute of around twenty minutes.

WHAT ELSE?

- Heading to the West End? Tottenham Court Road is less than half an hour away on the Central line.
- A half mile stroll south will get you to the tranquil blue waters of Eagle Pond and the epic expanse of Epping Forest. Explore a bit further for Hollow Ponds, where you can bob around on row boats for one of the most relaxing ways we know to spend a Sunday afternoon.
- Looking for an Indian feast? The much-loved Pink Garlic restaurant is well worth the seven minute stroll.
