Hillyfields Open Space is just around the corner and home to 2000 daffodil bulbs in the Grove.

Then, needing no introduction, there's the endlessly explorable Epping Forest - an easy stroll northwards.

If you lived here

You'll be hosting, relaxing and simply stretching out in your uncommonly generous, 175 square foot living room. It's ever so bright courtesy of that east-facing aspect, and a constellation of recessed spot lighting twinkles overhead. Next door the eat-in kitchen's a smart space decked out in a pine suite, monochrome backsplash and lovely leafy views.

Your bedroom's a double of 115 square feet with a mauve palette and built-in storage. The bathroom comes with a shower over the tub, dark oak effect hardwood flooring and white tiles from floor to ceiling. There's a handy utility space by your secure entrance and outside you'll find a manicured garden with a lawn, flourishing beds and an al fresco seating area; ideal for entertaining.
