IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Reception one is on your right as you enter and immediately sets the tone, with the high ceilings of the period, that beautifully bright bay window - dressed in bistro shutters - and a powder grey paintjob up to the picture rail. An original tiled hearth sits in a picturesque mantel, for the perfect centrepiece. Next door your second reception raises the bar further, with rich dark hardwood floors, another 175 square feet of space and striking Royal Blue statement wall.

Next door your kitchen and diner combine for another 275 square foot of sociable space, artfully zoned by a modest breakfast bar protruding from your comprehensive suite of kitchen cabinets, cream and chrome beneath dark quartz worktops, also featuring a double width stainless steel chef's oven. Your dining area basks in light from French doors leading out to that glorious garden. A handy understairs cloakroom completes your ground floor.

Upstairs your principal bedroom is glorious in its original grand proportions, 210 square feet, softly carpeted with floor to ceiling wardrobes either side of the chimney breast and vintage hearth. Three more characterful bedrooms complete the storey, along with your fabulous family bathroom, a sleek boutique affair with marbled tilework, tub and dedicated shower cubicle. Upstairs your converted loft suite totals 140 square feet with garden views and skylit en suite.

Outside and, as noted, it's just a few footsteps to the open nature and woodlands of Woodford Green itself, perfect for morning runs, evening strolls or exercising furry friends. It's also your gateway to the endless greenery of Epping Forest, Highams Park and Wanstead Flats - wander for miles or simply to your heart's content and forget you're in London. At the same time Woodford Green tube is just half a mile on foot, sat in zone four for speedy Central line links to the City and West End.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"Woodford Green, as its name suggests, has ample open spaces, including village greens, parks and forest land.
The area has a number of popular pubs and eateries. For Italian, the superb Bel Sit is known for its authentic family feel and collection of football shirts. Rosso on the Broadway and Mezze on the Green are also really popular.
Along the High Road are a number of historic ‘watering holes’ including the Cricketers, Travellers Friend, Rose & Crown and Horse & Well. For local shopping, Woodford Broadway is a good choice, including a lovely new fishmonger called Fatfish.
There are plenty of bigger family homes here, including the beautiful Arts and Crafts houses on the Monkhams Estate. Nearby is the charming inter-war Laings Estate with its green verges and pocket parks. For younger couples and families, there are smaller terraced houses and conversions to be snapped up.
Woodford Green is an ideal location for people looking for a mixture of town and country life, and a great place to put down family roots."
