A private driveway provides off-street parking, while the rear garden stretches to around 80 feet, offering an impressive outdoor setting.

If you lived here...
Your new home presents a smart façade with a distinctive arched doorway, fronted by a wide paved driveway where low planting adds greenery.

Inside, the hallway offers practical storage beneath the staircase, with a side window drawing light across the space. From here you move into a separate kitchen with cabinetry and tiled splashbacks around a window overlooking the garden. Ready to enjoy as it stands, the room also offers scope, subject to planning, to extend into the garden and open into the rear reception to create a larger kitchen, dining and living area.

Both reception rooms are bright and well proportioned. The front is anchored by an elegant fireplace and a recessed window, while the rear features another fireplace and glazed double doors leading to the garden, adding a sense of openness and making it ideal for gatherings.

The garden is a highlight, with a broad lawn edged by mature trees providing privacy and a leafy outlook. South-east facing, it welcomes sunlight through the day, while a paved terrace beside the house offers a practical spot for seating.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a third smaller room, together with a family bathroom and separate WC. One double looks to the front, the other enjoys views of the rear garden, while the smaller room works well as a nursery, study or guest space. The bathroom combines white tiling with patterned flooring, with a bath beneath the window, while the WC adds useful convenience.

The loft conversion provides a further double bedroom, filled with light from skylights and French doors opening to a Juliet balcony. Neutral finishes enhance the sense of space, while the proportions allow for flexible layouts. A modern bathroom completes this level, finished with contrasting tiles and a window that enhances the room with an airy, open atmosphere.

Highams Park is a lively yet leafy neighbourhood with a strong sense of community and plenty to enjoy close by. Independent cafés such as Biba & Wren bring a touch of style to the local coffee scene, perfect for meeting friends or enjoying a quiet moment during the day. The Stag & Lantern offers a cosy micropub experience with craft ales, ciders and wines, while the Royal Oak provides a classic pub setting with hearty food, a welcoming atmosphere and a garden for warmer days. Families are well served by excellent local schools, including the outstanding Selwyn Primary School just an 11-minute walk away. For time outdoors, Highams Park Lake on the edge of Epping Forest offers a picturesque escape among trees and water.

Highams Park Station is just 5 minutes from your door, providing swift links into central London. A good choice of bus routes also serve the area, connecting you easily with surrounding neighbourhoods including Chingford, Walthamstow and Woodford.

A word from the owners...

"We have lived here for over 22 Years. We have had wonderful neighbours and made lots of friends. Our neighbours have always helped us and will remain our friends even when we leave. When we moved here we was the first young family to move into the road for many years ! Now I love to see all the new families moving into the area, as I know they will be as happy as we have been."
