This Grade II-listed, weatherboarded cottage blends 19th-century character with a fresh contemporary finish. Recently renovated, the house retains original fireplaces, sash windows and high ceilings, while kitchens and bathrooms feature Welsh slate, microcement and marble accents — move-in ready for buyers who value period detail with modern conveniences.
Gardens bookend the property: a long, planted front garden and a secluded rear courtyard with roses, honeysuckle and a productive grape vine. The plot is notably large for a terraced house, offering outdoor space, patios and mature planting that suit gardening or relaxed entertaining.
Location is a key strength. Grange Hill Underground station is a minute’s walk away for quick Central line access into London, yet open fields, Hainault Forest and Epping Forest are within easy reach. Good local schools and very low local crime make the house suitable for commuting couples or first-time buyers planning a family.
Buyers should note the listed status will restrict certain alterations and could complicate works. The building is timber framed and assumed to lack cavity insulation, so buyers wanting major energy upgrades should factor in specialist, listed-building sensitivity and potential costs.
