The Avenue Highams Park , E4 9RX

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

First impressions are instantly striking - a substantial driveway sets that classic Victorian frontage back from the road, while screening greenery makes for still more seclusion. Step through the stained glass front door and your immense, 300 square foot through lounge is on the left. In here dark engineered hardwood runs underfoot, you have classic bistro shutters front and back and a striking pewter hearth taking centre stage. Lots of nods to the original architecture and a tremendous hosting space.

By contrast, your kitchen/diner to the rear (a splendid second option for entertaining) is sleek and contemporary, with underfloor heating, glossy dark brown floor tiles, an arresting red metro tile splashback and chunky quartz effect worktops. Cabinets are white and pristine, with the dining area nicely zoned by a breakfast bar and home to striking chrome tower radiators. Bi-folding patio doors open everything up to the outside, where an elevated patio descends to your eighty foot length of lawn, stretching away between mature greenery to the 280 square foot garden room. Ideal for turning to use as a games room, home office or guest accommodation.

Back inside and the ground floor's completed by a handy cloak room plus a naturally bright lean to in the side return. Upstairs, your sleeping arrangements start with your extremely generous 200 square foot principal bedroom, finished to an immaculate five star standard with box bay window, bistro shutters and floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three are both equally stylish doubles, while your family bathroom sits in between, tiled from floor to ceiling and featuring a large teardrop tub below a designer rainfall shower.

Outside, and Highams Park station is on your doorstep, just five minutes' walk for direct twenty three minute connections to Liverpool Street, putting the City well within half an hour away, door to door. Almost as close, in the other direction, is Highams Park itself - acres of great rolling greenery with tremendous views over London and of course the tranquil blue waters of Highams Park Lake. A direct line to the City, gorgeous open natural space, and your new home sat right in between.
