If you lived here...

You’ll be keen to get out exploring your new neighbourhood, but let’s settle in at home first. Set on the first floor of a purpose-built block, you have 488 square feet of internal space to spread out in. Thanks to the modern decor and generous windows, the living area feels bright and welcoming. There’s plenty of room for working or socialising, while the kitchen area will be a pleasure to use, with modern appliances and plentiful units. The bathroom is smart and contemporary, with a shower over the bath and a fresh aqua palette. The hallway is spacious, with built-in storage.

It’ll be a joy to sit out and take in the leafy view from the west-facing balcony, which is covered, meaning you can use it rain or shine.

As for the wider area, Highams Park is your nearest station, around a mile away. From here, you can travel to Liverpool Street on the Weaver Overground in around 25 minutes. En route to the station, you’ll spot some excellent amenities, including Vino Tap, The Stag & Lantern Micropub and Yaz. There’s also the convenience of supermarkets and other chains close by for everyday essentials.

You also have the option of hopping on the bus to Walthamstow Central. As well as excellent transport connections (including the Victoria line), you’ll find many award-winning eateries, plus the newly opened Soho Theatre.

The neighbourhood is rich in green space, sitting on the cusp of the vast Epping Forest. Highams Park itself is particularly impressive, with its lake and landscaped gardens, while Memorial Park is even closer.
