House For Sale £1,350,000
Built in the 1930s, this very attractive and beautifully presented five-bedroom detached family home boasts a sought after location on a popular residential road within the prestigious Monkhams Estate.
The house itself is light and bright and extremely well proportioned, but it was in need of modernisation when the current owners bought it, so they made no end of improvements. Among other things they've added a gorgeous fifth bedroom complete with en suite, which takes up the whole top floor of the house. It is currently used as a guest suite and it is ideal for relatives who come to stay as they can enjoy total and utter privacy up there. They also added bi-fold doors that open up a large proportion of the back of the house, which when pushed back essentially extends the living space out into the garden making the perfect situation for alfresco entertaining.
The garden is yet another lovely feature of the property and is mainly laid to lawn so not only is it extremely low maintenance, but it's a great space for children to have a good kick around and the odd game of cricket or run around in. There is also have a large patio terrace directly outside the bi-fold doors, which is ideal for summer BBQs, and the whole space is edged with a mix of laurel hedging and high fencing so you can enjoyed a good degree of privacy. A standout feature has to be the magnificent fig tree, planted by the owner's father, which produces the best figs we've ever tasted!
What the Owner says:
We bought the house fourteen years ago and as well as the space that the property offered both inside and out, it was the location that was one of the biggest selling points. The road itself is very quiet and only really used by the people that live here. It's a very pleasant downhill walk to Woodford station and very close to a host of excellent schools, both state and private. We've also been able to enjoy an easy drive to places such as High Beech, Chigwell, Loughton and Buckhurst Hill so all the best shops, restaurants and pubs in the West Essex area are close at hand, and we benefit from excellent motorway links so it's ideal if you need to travel further afield. For us the location really couldn't have been more ideal.
This has been a wonderful family home for the past fourteen years and it's going to be a real wrench to leave. We'll miss the convenience of being so close to central London – it's only eight stops into Liverpool Street – and we have some lovely wide-open green spaces close by so the walks in the area are lovely, with plenty of places to stop for a coffee or a light bite. However, most of all we'll miss the house itself and the privacy, peace and quiet of this lovely road.
