The second bedroom is equally inviting, its simple layout making the most of its proportions.

The bathroom continues the home’s fresh, neutral palette, with tiled walls and flooring enhancing the sense of brightness. A fitted bath is complemented by a window that brings in both light and ventilation.

A word from the expert...

"Around the corner from the office are The Stag and Lantern and Vinoramica, perfect spots for all your alcoholic needs. If you fancy a nice coffee pop into Biba & Wren Coffee Shop. My favourite local walk to where I live is through Epping Forest from Highams Park to Chingford Plains, ending at The Butlers Retreat. If you fancy a bike ride The Lea Valley is expansive and offers plenty of different routes in and out of London. The area is the perfect halfway house, offering all the benefits of London but with the green space and community feel of a countryside village! I also love the variety of different architecture on offer throughout E4.”
