A word from the owners.....

"We have been here for over 30 years and have seen the kids grow up playing in the forest and attending the local schools. Over the years we have extended the property and have solar panels and a battery (on the original tariff). The south facing garden is a great place for relaxing or entertaining and there is a brick BBQ with both gas and coal options. It is a great combination of suburban living - 2 minutes to Chingford station and 25 minutes into the city - and being on the edge of Epping Forest. North Chingford retinas a village feel, with plenty of independent restaurants and a good mix of shops & cafes. We will miss the place, but the call of grandchildren is strong."
