A bright, charming and lovingly appointed two bedroom Victorian cottage, just moments from Epping Forest and the amenities of Loughton High Road. Brimming with vintage style and featuring a lovely, landscaped rear garden, this is a fine find.

If you lived here

You'll step directly from your modest storm porch into your entirely open plan ground floor, an immense 350 square feet in all. Immaculate blonde herringbone hardwood runs underfoot throughout, with pristine white walls accentuating the natural light that pours in front and back. Your skylit kitchen area's decked out in twin flanks of handsome royal blue cabinets, with white marbled worktops and integrated appliances. Bi-folding patio doors fill the rear wall and open everything up to the garden.

Upstairs, and bedroom one to the front is a bright, sizeable double of 110 square feet, with a smooth smoky sand colour scheme, matching carpet and designer pendulum lighting either side of the bed. Bedroom two, to the rear, is similarly sized and styled, with vaulted ceiling and a pleasant garden view. In between, your family bathroom's a striking designer affair, with seamless smoky flagstones underfoot, onyx fittings, metro tilework and a stroll-in rainfall shower cubicle with delectable jade herringbone backdrop.

Outside and it's just ten minutes on foot to Loughton Station, sat in zone six for the Central line. From here it's just twenty six minutes direct to Liverpool Street, for a quick and simple City commute. Tottenham Court Road is just nine minutes further, for the West End.

A word from the owner...

"We have absolutely loved living in this house and will be sad to leave, but it’s time to move on. The house benefits from being minutes away from Epping Forest on one side and the high street on the other side, and is just a 10 minute walk to the tube station. The high street has everything you need, including an M&S, Gail’s and lots of lovely pubs and restaurants. The property itself is modern but still retains its cottage-like feel."
