Sellers comments When we were house-hunting back in 2009, we had a long wish list of things we were looking for in a house, along with a few critical items.

We visited many places before being tipped off by an agent about this house that was about to come to market. We visited and bought it immediately!

It ticked all our boxes -big Victorian house full of features - original fireplaces, ceiling covings, quiet street but very close to public transport: Leytonstone Tube 6-8 minutes walk, with bus station at rear, W15, W16 & W19 buses at end of road in 2 min - going to Leytonstone tube, Walthamstow Central, Chingford, Hackney, Ilford.

Fast access to the City on the Central line from Leytonstone tube -many different shopping areas within easy reach: Leytonstone centre with many shops and restaurants, Tesco superstore, Leyton with Asda and other large outlets and gym, Stratford Westfield 2 stops on tube, Walthamstow Selbourne Walk Centre and market.

Schools and kindergartens, children's parks within walking distance and Stratford Olympic Park 2 tube stops away -Hollow Ponds lake and forest area and Wanstead Flats nearby.

We have lived here for 16 years and have kept the house maintained. We added a lean-to side extension at the outset, for use as a laundry area and garden/tool storage with direct access to the garden.

Most of the house has been repainted within the last year or so, though a couple of rooms still need to be redone to suit their new family's tastes.

Also, the top-floor central shower could benefit from replacement, and the stairway carpet will need replacing to the buyer's taste.

We moved to London from France for work and now, having retired, are moving back to live closer to our children and grandchildren.

As we still have our original family home in France, this house is being sold chain-free.
