Selwyn Avenue Highams Park , E4 9LS

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Beyond that striking frontage, you’ll find an impressive home with a careful balance of traditional features and contemporary updates packed into its 1219 square feet.

Your dual aspect double-reception room has a brilliant amount of natural light thanks to the large bay windows and door at the rear. The decor is both thoughtful and pristine, while features such as the parquet flooring, period fireplace, charming wood burner stove, custom shutters and bespoke carpentry provide the wow-factor.

You’ll find more stylish design in the kitchen, where highlights include the double oven, butler basin, vintage-style fittings and space-saving vertical column radiator. The storage cupboard will be will be brilliantly convenient, while the patio doors and window provide an abundance of natural light.

The spacious garden has two sun trap seating areas, a luscious lawn and cute shed, as well mature foliage to bring a sense of seclusion - something the charming bricked wall adds to.

On your first floor, you have two bright and brilliant bedrooms - each with smart custom storage. The family bathroom on this floor is stunning with both a walk-in shower and striking claw-foot freestanding tub. Again, it has bespoke shutters - and the period fireplace adds to the cosy ambience. Finally, in the loft you have two more immaculate bedrooms, including a master with another stunning en-suite bathroom. There’s plenty of eaves storage here too.

If you haven’t already, you’ll quickly fall in love with Highams Park and understand why it’s so popular (with the initiated anyway - it’s still pretty much a hidden gem beyond this corner of London). In one direction you’ve got the glorious nature of Epping Forest and Highams Park itself, which has everything from flower meadows and a lake to a coffee shop and playground, while in the other you’ve got the thriving hub that forms the centre of your community. There are some great food and drink-based amenities to choose from, including Vino Tap, The Stag & Lantern Micropub and Yaz. There’s also the convenience of a Tesco Superstore and other chains should you need essentials.

If you need to head into Central London, you’ll be pleased to discover that Highams Park station is only six minutes on foot, where you can head to Liverpool Street on the Weaver line in around 25 mins (or change at Walthamstow Central for the Victoria line and hop over to the West End).
