This substantial Victorian semi-detached townhouse offers generous family living across three floors, with five comfortable bedrooms and plenty of period character. High ceilings, bay windows, decorative cornices and original fireplaces give the principal rooms strong charm and excellent natural light. The property is chain free and sits on a quiet no-through road, just minutes from Epping Forest and local shops on George Lane.
The ground floor provides a gracious through-lounge, separate dining room and a kitchen that opens onto a paved terrace and modest lawn. Mature planting, a pergola and a garden shed add outdoor appeal while side access enhances practicality. Key family amenities — outstanding primary schools, parks and local leisure facilities — are within easy walking distance, and South Woodford station places the Central line roughly twenty minutes away.
Practical considerations are clear: there is a single main bathroom and a separate WC serving five bedrooms, and the house was constructed circa 1930–49 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated). Council tax is above average for the area. While presented with many original features and in generally good decorative order, the property would benefit from targeted modernisation and insulation works to improve energy efficiency and circulation of facilities for a larger household.
For families seeking period character, space and local green open space, this home combines classical detailing with everyday convenience. Investors or buyers planning renovation will find scope to add value, subject to planning and building regulations.
