George Lane, South Woodford E18

This well-presented two-bedroom apartment gives you 641 sq ft of living space — plus your own private garden. Set on the ground floor of a characterful brick period building, it offers a calm, leafy backdrop while keeping you close to South Woodford’s shops, cafés, and excellent transport links. South Woodford station (Central Line) is just a short walk away, taking you to Liverpool Street in around 15 minutes and the West End in just over half an hour. As for green spaces, you're under a minute's walk from both Epping Forest and Roding Valley Park - great places to explore on foot or by bike.

Chain-free, it’s ready when you are to become your new home.

If you lived here...

Step through the front door and straight into the living room — a bright, welcoming space thanks to a large bay window framed with white plantation shutters that let the light in while giving you privacy when you want it. A black fireplace anchors the room with a bold focal point - a nice contrast to the pale engineered wood flooring that runs throughout the whole property. A discreet cupboard under the stairs provides storage space for everyday items and clutter you’d prefer kept out of sight.

Carry on through to the kitchen/diner, where almond-pink walls meet cream cottage-style cabinets and chunky wood worktops. The exposed brick chimney breast has been cleverly reworked to house the extractor above the induction hob, adding character with purpose. French doors pull in even more light and open directly to the garden, making the space feel easy and connected.

Outside, the southwest-facing garden is paved for low maintenance and surrounded by wooden fencing for privacy. It’s a proper sun trap through the day, with a shed tucked at the rear for extra storage.

Back inside, you’ll find two bedrooms. The smaller is flexible — ideal as a guest room, nursery, home office, or creative hideaway. The larger double sitting at the rear is dual-aspect, with light streaming in all day, while built-in shelving and storage help keep things organised.

The bathroom brings a spa-like calm, wrapped in warm, sandy tiles from floor to ceiling. A vanity-mounted basin and walk-in shower keep the space sleek and practical, while the overall finish feels quietly luxurious — somewhere you’ll actually look forward to starting (or ending) your day.

For shopping, the convenience of George Lane is hard to beat. Whilst it's lined with boutique stores and essential services, there’s a Waitrose and a Sainsbury’s to cater to everyday needs as well as a popular monthly farmers’ market.

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 picks for food include the Japanese restaurant Sakura and local favourite Nino’s. 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 on your doorstep it’s got the perfect balance of everything you need. My favourite local spots for walking are the Hollow Ponds and the tucked away Elmhurst Gardens, with its two tennis courts. All round, it’s a fantastic place to call home."
