IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll climb the steps to your sage green front door, and step inside for your generous, broad and welcoming hallway, with large format smoky grey slate tiling underfoot. Your bow windowed front reception is on your left as you enter, a handsome 150 square feet with floods of natural light, blonde hardwood floors and tower radiator. Back in the hallway there's a handy understairs cloakroom, before we get to the undisputed highlight of your new home.

Your artfully arranged, open plan 430 square foot second reception and kitchen occupies the full rear breadth, with twin sets of patio doors and a large window framing various views of that striking rear garden. A lovely smoky marbled mantelpiece takes centre stage in your lounge area, while blonde hardwood flooring gives way to smoky slate grey tilework as you step into your kitchen. In here you have a generous flank of cream cabinets, pastel letterbox splashback and double width stainless steel chef's oven.

Upstairs and bedroom one sits to the front. A generous 140 square feet, with bistro shutters on the broad bow window, plush carpet underfoot and a soft cream finish up to the picture rail. Next door bedroom two is just as covetable, with striking floor to ceiling integrated wardrobes either side of the feature vintage hearth, and a bay window with garden views. Either one would make a fine principal sleeper. Two more double bedrooms round out the sleeping arrangements, leaving you with a large family bathroom, resplendent in aquamarine letterbox tiles, and an additional sleek shower room, in smoky cream.

Outside and you're just five minutes from the tranquil blue waters of Eagle Pond and the endlessly explorable greenery of Epping Forest. Perfect for joggers and strollers alike, you'll forget you're in London and can wander all the way to Hollow Ponds, for row boat rental and friendly ducks. Even closer to home, Snaresbrook station is just three minutes on foot for speedy and direct connections to the City and West End via the Central line, while Wanstead High Street is just five minutes away, home to a charming range of independent cafes, restaurants and gastropubs.
