2 bed Flat For Sale £350,000
A charming, bright and spacious two bedroom apartment with landscaped rear garden. A short walk from Chingford Station, this well-presented, red-bricked, ground floor home is enviably situated in the popular district of Waltham Forest.
A real find for both open green spaces and accessibility, this suburban gem, with on-street parking, sits on the edge of 600 acres of Epping Forest, is an eleven minute drive to the M11 and a twenty six-minute journey from Chingford Station to Liverpool Street station.
If you lived here
You'll be welcoming guests past a stone-pathed courtyard, through your own front door and on into your sumptuously carpeted lounge, enviably sized at over 160 square feet and flooded with light from a large window to the fore. Centre stage is a vintage sandstone brick fireplace, with infinite potential for modernisation to suit any interior design taste. Your fitted kitchen is immaculate, featuring warm amber tiled flooring, plentiful wooden cupboards and marble-effect worktops, tiled throughout in complimentary chequered shades. A breakfast bar also beckons, perfect for mornings seated by the glass expanse of double patio doors, flooding your breakfast experience with natural light.
Outside, along a side-of-house utility space housing a period redbrick coal bunker, your twenty-eight-foot rear garden is a hidden jewel, privately fenced-off with a raised, landscaped plot behind a rustic stone wall. Back inside and your lengthy hallway first leads to a brightly lit room with a dynamic overhead archway, your second bedroom, used by the current owners as a dining area comfortably seating six. Further along is your spotless bathroom, with a traditional white suite and dedicated shower cubicle, while your master bedroom is a generous double of over 140 square feet with a wealth of built-in storage.
Chingford was once a well-kept secret, known for its village charm, flourishing in recent years into a sought-after neighbourhood in increasingly popular east London. Family friendly and extravagantly green, you'll enjoy all the benefits of an East End community atmosphere (pubs, restaurants, sports clubs) alongside scenic country life, from the bustling Chingford Mount market to local landmark Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, originally built for King Henry VIII in 1543 and personally used by him for a grandstand view of deer hunting. More recently, the Chingford Foundation School taught not one but two England football captains, David Beckham and Harry Kane, as well as James Alexandrou of Eastenders fame.
What else
- Rookwood Gardens is surrounded by many forests within Epping Forest, perfect for walking, cycling, picnicking and (in nearby Hatch Forest) the sight of roaming deer.
- Chingford is also famed for The Chingford Reservoirs, part of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain, providing open water habitat for wildfowl, gulls and waders.
- You're only four miles from Walthamstow, East London's celebrated artisan hub, renowned for its award-winning bars, tap rooms, cafes and deliciously diverse restaurants.

A word from the expert......
I enjoy the outdoors as well as the hustle and bustle of the city, so Chingford is the perfect spot for me. With Epping Forest on the doorstep, cycling, hiking and exploring are only a hop away. And the amazing transport links can take you into the city in less than half hour.
Being able to alternate between Chingford Mount and North Chingford for a pub, restaurant, café or a takeaway means i’m spoilt for choice. I particularly enjoy meeting friends, family and colleagues in The Rusty Bike to grab some Thai food, choose from a large selection of beers or catch a game of football.
Weekends are reserved for the Kings Head. The beer garden is perfect for basking in the sun during the summer. In the colder months you can warm up inside with a great roast dinner.
Travelling between appointments is a joy. The sense of community is strong and friendly, and you’re often wished good morning or afternoon as you walk by. The diversity of the locals is what makes Chingford great — there are loads of international takeaway restaurants and supermarkets, where i’m constantly discovering new tastes and flavours.
