Step through the front door and you'll find a bright front reception where a wide bay window draws in plenty of natural light.

A period fireplace creates a natural focal point, while the fresh décor and newly finished interiors mean the house is ready to move into.

Beyond, a second reception offers a flexible dining or living space, with the kitchen positioned at the rear.

Fitted with a good range of cabinets and generous worktop space, it has a practical layout for everyday use. A ground floor WC adds extra convenience for busy households and when entertaining guests.

The rear garden offers a good amount of outdoor space, with the added convenience of rear access for bikes, gardening equipment or family life. An outside WC sits at the far end of the garden.

Upstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, each with a calm, neutral finish and plenty of natural light. The large bathroom includes both a separate shower enclosure and a bathtub.

Throughout the home, the recent decorative updates create a clean, welcoming feel while leaving scope to personalise over time.

“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, Boxx & Pause Pilates are popular.

With great schools, strong transport links and a real sense of belonging, South Woodford offers an ideal city suburb balance”. Tony platt E18 branch manager
