This bright, split-level two-bedroom apartment offers generous 961 sq ft of versatile living across raised ground and lower-ground floors. It has a private entrance, allocated parking directly outside, and a small private courtyard garden while being set within a secure gated development with large communal grounds and immediate access to Epping Forest — ideal for families who want outdoor space and easy commutes.
Interiors combine contemporary fittings with retained period character, including sash windows, high skirtings, exposed brick barrel-vaulted ceiling details and wide-plank wood floors. The lower-ground kitchen benefits from a lightwell and marble-style tiles, and most of the property has underfloor heating. Practical features include a downstairs WC, generous storage, and a reception room sized for family living or entertaining.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment with 119 years remaining. Service charges average around £2,100 pa and ground rent is approximately £350 pa; council tax is above average. The building has listed status which may limit alterations and could complicate permissions and works. The surrounding area records above-average crime statistics — factor this into security and insurance considerations.
Well placed for family life, the property sits a short walk from Chingford and Highams Park amenities, good local schools, frequent buses and a 15-minute drive or local transport link into central London. For buyers who prioritise space, character and outdoor access, this is a roomy, well-presented option — but those wanting a fully private garden, open-plan single-level layout, or unrestricted renovation should be aware of the listed status and communal regime.
