If you lived here...

Your new home has instant kerb appeal, with its red brick frontage, wide bay windows and welcoming arched doorway. Timber garage doors, paired with the wooden front door, add warmth and character to the exterior.
Inside, the hallway offers useful storage beneath the stairs and leads into a bright front reception where a wide bay floods the room with daylight. Polished wooden flooring runs through, complemented by a decorative fireplace that adds charm and focus. A second reception lies to the rear, equally generous in size, its large window drawing in natural light and offering a versatile setting for dining or relaxed family living. A modern bathroom is also set on this level, styled with stone-effect tiling and a wood-effect floor.
The kitchen continues the sense of openness, finished with warm wood tones and vibrant tiled splashbacks, with a door opening directly onto the garden. The south-facing outdoor space extends naturally from the living areas, making it perfect for entertaining. A generous lawn is framed by mature planting and trees that bring shade and greenery, while a paved terrace close to the house provides the ideal setting for alfresco meals. The depth of the garden also offers plenty of room for children to play or for keen gardeners to enjoy.
Upstairs, the landing is brightened by a striking stained-glass window, a distinctive feature that adds colour and character. Three bedrooms provide flexibility, with two generous bay-fronted doubles and a smaller front-facing room with built-in storage, ideal as a study or guest space. A second bathroom sits on this floor, designed with half-height panelling and a frosted window, keeping the space fresh and airy.
Woodford Green High Road and George Lane are close by, both offering plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. Local favourites such as Dada and The Cricketers provide welcoming spots for a relaxed drink or meal, while George Lane brings a lively mix of restaurants, cafés and pubs, with The George and Bobo & Wild among its highlights. Churchfields recreation ground is also within easy reach, offering open space and a playground, while the vast expanse of Epping Forest provides endless opportunity for walking and outdoor pursuits. Families are especially well served with excellent local schools, including the outstanding Churchfields Primary, just 10 minutes on foot.

A word from the expert...

"Woodford Green, as its name suggests, has ample open spaces, including village greens, parks and forest land.
The area has a number of popular pubs and eateries. For Italian, the superb Bel Sit is known for its authentic family feel and collection of football shirts. Rosso on the Broadway and Mezze on the Green are also really popular.
Along the High Road are a number of historic ‘watering holes’ including the Cricketers, Travellers Friend, Rose & Crown and Horse & Well. For local shopping, Woodford Broadway is a good choice, including a lovely new fishmonger called Fatfish.
There are plenty of bigger family homes here, including the beautiful Arts and Crafts houses on the Monkhams Estate. Nearby is the charming inter-war Laings Estate with its green verges and pocket parks. For younger couples and families, there are smaller terraced houses and conversions to be snapped up.
Woodford Green is an ideal location for people looking for a mixture of town and country life, and a great place to put down family roots."
