The Avenue Highams Park , E4 9LB

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You'll step past your striking red brick frontage and through that cobalt blue front door to take a left into your stately first reception. Coming in at 250 square feet, it's a fine introduction to this incredible 2250 square foot abode. Vintage features draw the eye at every turn - a classic bay window, ceiling cornicing, period fireplace and picture rail being just a few of the highlights. A refined space indeed. Next door, the dual aspect second reception is 150 square feet and home to another period fireplace.

Continue through - past the entrance to your versatile 205 square foot cellar - and the kitchen/diner comes with paned windows, a chef's oven and breakfast bar. It all leads seamlessly through to your third reception where walnut effect boards flow underfoot, there's a working wood burner and enticing views through the bay window. Yet another space to make jaws drop. Throw the French doors open to step onto patio adorned with pots and forget-me-nots, then on to lush lawn flanked by lovingly tended beds, past a pergola up to the 235 square foot garden room.

Head back inside through the boot room and the ground floor's completed by a striking scarlet WC. Pad upstairs and you'll find three spacious double bedrooms, each with its own characterful finish. The 205 square foot principal bedroom features a sleek en suite shower room, while the family bathroom comes with a tub and dedicated shower cubicle. A handy study sits by the staircase. Up on the second floor's your 230 square foot loft bedroom with plush carpet, skylights and a wealth of storage.

Outside and Highams Park is just an eight minute stroll for some of the most beautiful woodland Epping Forest has to offer. Climb to the top of the hill to take in the cityscape, or admire the lake from Humphreys Cafe. With a well stocked playground, it's a great spot for little ones (nearby Vincent Road Playground's also a superb option with a climbing labyrinth, sensory boards and climbing wall). Closer to home and all the amenities of Highams Park are on your doorstep, including the Art Deco Regal cinema, opening soon. From independent stores to high end wining and dining, there's a spot to sate every palate.
