A note from the current owner...
"I have lived in this safe, quiet, friendly Avenue since November 1986 - almost 35 years with very helpful neighbours. Breakfast in the front garden or sunny dining room. Lunch or dine under a patio parasol in the west facing rear garden from May to October. See stunning sunrises, sunsets & cloudscapes from the bedrooms. Catch the last sun's rays by dining in the rear bedroom! Move between the rear garden's many shady nooks over the day. I've enjoyed being able to walk round Highams Park Lake, the Repton landscaped grounds and Epping Forest woodland in the changing seasons, just 10 minutes walk away or 4 minutes drive. Children will be mesmerised by the wildlife and can let off steam in the great playground & grounds. Walk or bike through Larkswood Woods on a tarmac path to Chingford Leisure Centre's cheap, gorgeous sunny pools and gym. Or hop on the W16 or drive 8 minutes. Parents will be pleased to know you have numerous primary/secondary schools - all with good OFsted ratings - nearby also including the Highams Park Campus!
I will be really sad to say Au Revoir to Highams Park and its very many benefits!"

A beautiful bright and tranquil space, offering views across Richmond Avenue/ Crescent. The large double glazed replacement bay window to the front provides plenty of natural sunlight. Hanging rails to one side of the fire breast and radiator to one side.
Bedroom 2 (12' 10" x 10' 0" or 3.91m x 3.05m)

Outside
Rear Garden
The most delightful west facing garden with a selection of shrubs and plants to either side and a small self contained garden shed to rear. The garden backs onto the overground tracks, however is kindly obscured by trees and foliage. The gentle hum of the overground passing through every 15 minutes or so certainly doesn't interrupt this otherwise peaceful sun trap.
