House For Sale £500,000
Stanley Road, London E4

A charming characterful two bedroom Victorian mid terrace in the beating heart of leafy Chingford. Sat just moments from Chingford station and the lush green expanse of Chingford Plain, you have twin receptions, two bathrooms, a lengthy private garden and plenty of development potential.

The loft space is yet to be developed so there's plenty of scope to add another storey in the form of a Dormer conversion, as some of your neighbours have undertaken (subject to the usual permissions).

If you lived here

You'll be walking through your cheery cherry red front door and on into your 130 square foot lounge with engineered flooring underfoot and plantation shutters adorning the sash windows. Next door, reception two's a glorious, generous space of 115 square feet complete with a tower radiator and delectably on trend designer wallpaper. It all leads through to your skylit 170 square foot dining room enjoying timber floorboards, chalkboard accent wall, a kitchen dressed in a pastel suite, white metro tile backsplash, chef's oven and Belfast sink, plus access to the garden.

Throw open the doors here for a thirty foot length of low-maintenance patio flanked by lovingly-tended beds and high fences for privacy. Great for entertaining in the warmer months. Back inside and head up the stairs for your sizeable 185 square foot master bedroom ñ it's filled with natural light courtesy of the twin windows and blessed with a wealth of fitted storage and an adjoining en suite. Bedroom two's eighty square feet and comes with a garden view, while your family bathroom's wonderfully contemporary in more gleaming metro tiles, a rainfall shower over clawfoot tub and vintage fixtures and fittings.

Chingford was referenced in the Domesday book as 'Cingefort' in 1066 and, previously part of Essex, became an urban district in 1894. It's surrounded by open green and blue spaces that include Chingford Plain, Pimp Hall Park, Whitehall Plain, Hatch Forest, Mansfield Park and Epping Forest. Chingford Plain is a mere eight minutes from your front door and you'll love stopping in at Butlers Retreat cafe to recharge after a long stroll. The Larder here is nestled in the woodland and serves up a delicious organic brunch in a Victorian retreat that has been recently resplendently restored to its former glory.

What else?

- Chingford train station is a mere six minutes on foot and will get you directly to Liverpool Street in twenty seven minutes. Drivers, meanwhile, can be on the North Circular in ten minutes.
- Four minutes away amongst the big name brands on Station Road is Italian restaurant Trattoria Ibelo. The gnocchi's out of this world.
- We have to recommend the quirky Rusty Bike (across the road from Trattoria Ibelo) as your new local. With tons of eye-catching arty space to relax in, you can savour something from the Thai menu with a refreshing draft beer.

A word from the owner.....

"I bought this house in 2010 and have lived in Chingford now for 15 or so years. I absolutely love this little home and I try to do as much as I can to look after it and make sure it is happy. I have renovated throughout and tried to stay true to its Victorian roots including a new Victorian tiled path in 2020.This is a really lovely neighbourhood to live in - I know all my neighbours. Everyone is very friendly and happy to help you in any way they can. There is a Stanley Road WhatsApp group, which has been absolutely invaluable to me over the last year... Especially with recommendations for tradesmen, local businesses, parking, internet providers... You name it. Station Road offers great restaurants and bars with this set to continue improving over the next few years. Epping Forest and Chingford Plains at the end of the road are also an absolutely amazing feature of this house!"
