IF YOU LIVED HERE... From your quiet, leafy, residential street, a wide driveway leads up to your front door, all surrounded by mature greenery and foliage. Stepping inside, you'll arrive in a welcoming entrance hall with your 190 square foot reception room on the right.

In here the paintwork lightens to a lovely peacock blue and is complemented perfectly by slate grey flooring, smooth cream cabinets and dark marbled work surfaces. An open archway connects to your gloriously bright, 210 square foot conservatory, the perfect place for dinner parties with a wide open hatch for easy transition of delicious plates from kitchen to table. Opening the double French doors and stepping outside, you'll two handsome stretches of brick paved patio and fresh, green lawn. A cosy raised deck sits to the rear below a shady timber pergola. You also have direct access to your independent garage. Back inside, before heading upstairs, you'll come to a sizeable utility room with plenty of purpose built storage space, and a ground floor bedroom, currently in use as a home working space. On the first floor you'll find four more bedrooms, three of them handsome doubles, with the principal bedroom coming in at an impressive 185 square feet of floorspace. All your sleepers are carpeted in soft, smoky grey and have beautiful, tasteful colour schemes ranging from dusky pink to pale grey and featuring some dramatic feature wallpaper. From the landing you'll access your first floor balcony that overlooks the front of your home and you'll also find your contemporary, pristine family bathroom. In here, light grey parquet tilework lines one wall, while the rest of the room is tiled in glossy white. There's a matching modern suite with chrome fixtures and fittings, and a shower over the tub. Only five minutes from your front door on foot, you'll find a great little cafe called Mood Lift that's full of healthy brunch and breakfast options. A few minutes further down The Avenue, just past the station, there's a cluster of social hotspots including Yaz restaurant's wonderful Mediterranean cuisine, the intimate and chilled out vibes of Vino Tap wine bar and your new local, award winning craft beer specialist, The Stag and Lantern Micropub. Much loved Highams Park Lake is also only a ten minute walk away where the scenic footpaths and cycleways continue into the lush woodlands of Epping Forest.

"We really enjoy living in this house; it's wonderfully laid out for celebrations and family gatherings. The rooms are spacious and bright, and the corner garden gets lots of sun, feeling more secluded than expected—especially in the summer when the surrounding trees are green. The house is unique in its build style, which we love, and includes a balcony to the front and large windows throughout. I’m still amazed at the size of the master bedroom, even now. The station is just a few minutes’ walk away, which makes commuting to Liverpool Street and beyond really quick and easy. There are plenty of local shops, again only a few minutes’ walk. We have lovely, friendly neighbours, and the street has a real sense of community—people look out for each other. We are only selling because we would like a slightly smaller home, ideally in the same street or very nearby, as we like it here so much."
