Arranged over two floors, with three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a first floor bathroom, the home retains lovely period features and generous proportions throughout.

An ideal opportunity for those looking to create a long-term home tailored to their own style and needs.
IF YOU LIVED HERE…
You’d step through the classic double bay frontage into a welcoming hallway, where high ceilings and original detailing set the tone. To the front, the first reception room is bright and well proportioned, centred around its bay window. It’s easy to picture this as a cosy evening retreat, filled with soft lamplight and conversation.
Behind it, a second reception room offers equally generous dimensions and a lovely outlook towards the garden. Whether kept as a separate dining room, a relaxed family space or opened up in time to create a more fluid layout, the natural flow between these two rooms lends itself beautifully to both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen sits to the rear, with direct access to the garden and clear potential for reimagining. There’s space here to extend and create a larger kitchen dining room that connects seamlessly to the outside. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a first floor bathroom, with the loft offering further opportunity to grow into the home over time. Outside, the generous rear garden stretches away from the house, offering room for planting, play, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon in the sun.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...
“As a long-time resident and Manager of our South Woodford office, I can say this area captures the best of London living. It offers leafy surroundings, a warm community and great local amenities while staying well connected to the City and West End. I live locally and love exploring on my mountain bike, from the River Roding to Epping Forest and Claybury Park. Having so much green space nearby makes South Woodford feel far removed from central London. Housing is varied, with Victorian, Edwardian, 1930s and modern homes to suit all lifestyles. At the centre is George Lane, home to M&S, Waitrose and independent cafés. The International Supermarket is a local gem for global ingredients, and the Odeon cinema and friendly pubs add to the community feel. For fitness, Pause Pilates and Elmhurst Gardens tennis courts are popular. With great schools, strong transport links and a real sense of belonging, South Woodford offers an ideal city suburb balance”.
