WORD FROM THE OWNER..
"I was lucky enough to be brought up in the house moving in around 1969 just after it was built for the water board works. It has always been a bright and airy house and is on the banks of number 5 reservoir, looking towards Rabbit and Heron Islands. It was a wonderful place to grow up surrounded by nature, relaxing in the large garden watching and listening to the birds, watching trout leap out of the water in the evening and waking up to birdsong. Awaiting the usual visits from the foxes who would pop in to the garden. Experiences my own children loved.
A place to relax and grow, among a small friendly and supportive group of neighbours, A peaceful place but one with swift access to lovely walks, public transport hubs and the restaurants and excitement that Walthamstow brings. We are also a short walk to the River Lea, and on to Springfield Park area which are personal favourites of ours."
