If you lived here...
This handsome Victorian home immediately catches the eye with its warm brickwork, crisp white bay, and sage-green front door. Set behind a low front wall and framed by a mature tree, its classic façade gives way to a light-filled interior where historic character and modern comfort sit comfortably side by side.

Inside, the hallway sets a warm tone with natural wood flooring, whitewashed walls, and a plush stair runner leading upward between timber trims and ornate mouldings. To the front, the reception room enjoys a bay window and soft neutral palette, offering space to stretch out or entertain with ease. Architectural detailing and a sense of flow make this a quietly elegant place to unwind.

At the rear, a striking open-plan kitchen and living space is arranged with socialising in mind. Skylights invite sunlight to pour in across pale flooring and cabinetry, while vertical blue tiling adds a splash of character. A central island provides the perfect perch for coffee or conversation, with dining and lounging zones stretching toward wide bifold doors. These fold back to reveal a thoughtfully landscaped garden, where a timber-clad feature wall, lavender-fringed lawn, and raised beds create a serene outdoor retreat.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is bright and restful, with soft pastel wardrobes, original floorboards, and twin sash windows. A second double room offers leafy views and a pared-back setting perfect for quiet focus or deep sleep. At the rear, the bathroom is both elegant and practical, with a walk-in rain shower, freestanding bath, and views over Jack Cornwell Park.

The surrounding area offers a well-balanced mix of green spaces, independent favourites, and a strong sense of community. Just a couple of minutes from your door, Jack Cornwell Park offers open lawns and mature trees—perfect for relaxed strolls or time outdoors. A short walk away, the emerging hotspot of Tilbury Road is fast becoming a go-to, with buzzing wine bars, a craft beer brewery, child-friendly cafés, and great places to eat. Further afield, Leyton Jubilee Park has play areas, sports courts and winding trails, while Hollow Pond on the edge of Epping Forest invites longer, leafy adventures. Bromley’s Café is a local favourite for coffee and cake, while Francis Road is worth the stroll for Marmelo Kitchen’s seasonal plates and Yardarm’s thoughtful wine list. For cosy evenings, The Coach & Horses hits just the right note.

A word from the owner...

"One of the things i’ve loved most about living here is the natural light – with a South-East aspect the house gets sun all day, making it warm, bright, and welcoming from morning to evening. It’s also surprisingly quiet – the rooms are wonderfully peaceful to sleep in.
The garden has been an absolute joy. I’ll really miss my morning coffees and sunset drinks out there. The park opposite adds a sense of privacy and fills the outlook with leafy green trees.
I’ve genuinely enjoyed connecting with the neighbours – there’s a lovely sense of community, and it’s always nice to stop for a quick hello or chat. We’re also spoiled for choice with nearby parks, all within walking distance, perfect for a stroll or a weekend picnic.
You won’t find a more convenient spot. On the high street, there’s an organic food store, a supermarket, a medical centre, and pharmacies – all with friendly, kind staff. It’s one of those areas that’s easy to grow attached to.
And having a great gym just at the top of the road has been a real bonus – so convenient, and just one more reason this has felt like the perfect place to call home."
