Tucked on the top floor of a converted Edwardian house, this bright split-level apartment marries period character with contemporary living. High vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and generous windows give the main living area a spacious feel; an open-plan kitchen/reception flows over 22ft and is ideal for quiet days at home or entertaining. A mezzanine bedroom/loft space offers pleasant views and adds flexible sleeping or home‑working accommodation.
Storage has been well considered: multiple built-in cupboards and concealed spaces under the stairs reduce clutter and make the 759 sq ft feel larger than it is. The bathroom is modern and thoughtfully tiled, while the kitchen provides practical worktop space and a breakfast bar. Fast broadband, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing support comfortable everyday living.
Location is a key strength. Epping Forest is a five-minute walk away for easy access to green space, and South Woodford Central line station is about 14 minutes on foot, giving straightforward City and West End links. Local shops, cafés and restaurants along High Road and George Lane are within easy reach, and a strong local schools offer is attractive for families.
Important facts: the flat is leasehold with 99 years remaining and a small ground rent of £200 per year. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation — upgrading wall insulation may be required if improved thermal performance is desired. The mezzanine and floating stairs will suit buyers who are comfortable with split-level living; they reduce usable floor plan for some layouts. Crime levels and area deprivation are average.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or professional seeking a stylish, well-located home with character and good storage — someone who values light, period features and green space but understands the practicalities of a leasehold conversion and potential insulation upgrades.
