E18 1AY
A sumptuously developed four bedroom Victorian terrace, just moments from the endless greenery of Epping Forest. The original architecture has been substantially extended for a wealth of elegantly appointed living space over three storeys.
In addition to the side and rear additions, you have a substantial loft extension behind your handsome vintage frontage. There's a new boiler (installed 2020), fresh insulation on the first floor and all windows have been replaced with uPVC sashes.
IF YOU LIVED HERE…
You'll be welcoming friends and family into the show-stopping heart of your new home. Your 375 square foot kitchen/diner, resplendent in exposed brick, large format blonde herringbone timber floors and a blend of striking blue and tranquil grey cabinetry (home to a high end range of Bosch appliances). It's all topped off with metro tile splashbacks and marbled counters, while a large chef's island and breakfast bar takes centre stage.
Everything's bathed in natural light from multiple skylights and a rear wall of graphite trimmed patio doors. Throw these back to bring the outside in and step onto your sizeable breakfast patio, descending to a lawn, railway sleeper beds and a handy shed – boarded out for storage and with a handy lean-to for larger items. Back inside and the ground floor's completed by a spare WC and plushly appointed front lounge, with a striking vintage hearth and mantel.
Upstairs and your principal bedroom is an impressive 180 square feet, finished in tranquil pastel blue up to the original picture rail, with a large bay window and its own period hearth. Bedroom two is another double, with plush carpet and colourful hearth, while to the rear you have a generous single, currently in use as a splendid home office. Your family bathroom completes the storey, finished in pale green with grey-graphite notes.
Head up into your expertly realised loft conversion, for a proper penthouse suite. Dual aspect, you have over 180 square feet of living space between the large skylight and rear window with elevated garden view. There's a handy work nook to the rear, and a skylit, sky blue en suite shower room off to one side. A superbly self-contained capstone to this enviable property.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...
"We've loved our time in South Woodford and in particular in Walpole road. It was our first home and we've been able to benefit from the close access to the forest for walks, bike rides and runs as well as the close access to the high street and station.
We've extended the house and ensured we finished things to a standard we could happily live with for the next 20 years and hope the new owner enjoys it just as much as we have."
