IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll love the way that the sprawling first floor views add to the apartment’s good sense of proportion. There’s plenty of room for working or socialising in the bright open plan living area. The kitchen area has been immaculately fitted, with smart shaker-style units, sleek worktops, integrated appliances and convenient fittings such as the hose-style mixer tap. You’ll appreciate the stylish touches such as the column radiators found throughout. In the bedroom, you can also enjoy the soft carpeting, custom storage and lovely panelling in a deep blue.

The hallway is spacious, with more in-built storage, while the bathroom is a show-stopper, with gorgeous teal tiling and a washstand basin, as well as a rainforest-style shower over the sparkling tub.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"South Woodford was home for the first 25 years of my life. As I get older, I realise how lucky I am to have grown up here, an area with such fantastic schools, amenities and green space. George Lane is the main hub, where you’ll find the Central line station, as well as a great selection of supermarkets — M&S, Sainsburys, Waitrose and a Co-op. On top of this, is a fantastic choice of bars, pubs and restaurants, as well as an Odeon Cinema, library and gym. You really do have everything on your doorstep. Personal favourites for food would be the Japanese restaurant Sakura. South Woodford boasts a great stock of Victorian/ Edwardian family homes, as well as newer purpose-built blocks of flats and conversions, so attracts families and young professionals. It has great transport connections to the City and Canary Wharf, and with Epping Forest nearby, it’s got the perfect balance of everything you need. My favourite local spots for walking are the Hollow Ponds, and the nearby Elmhurst Gardens, with its two tennis courts. The nearby Woodford Dog Park is also a favourite, where both dog and owner meet up with their regular pals! All round, it’s a great place to call home."
