IF YOU LIVED HERE…

The front door opens into a generous hallway, setting a refined first impression with pale wood-effect flooring and soft neutral tones that continue throughout the apartment. Multiple built-in storage cupboards are thoughtfully positioned along the corridor, offering excellent concealed capacity without compromising flow. There's also room for additional furniture or decorative touches, making this more than just a thoroughfare—it becomes part of the home’s overall aesthetic.

At the end of the hallway, the open-plan reception, kitchen and dining space unfolds with an abundance of daylight, thanks to several windows and a glazed door leading out to the balcony. The room is arranged to allow distinct areas for lounging and dining. The kitchen sits neatly to one side, its charcoal-toned cabinetry and minimalist finish providing a subtle yet striking contrast to the pale flooring and crisp walls.

The south-facing balcony extends the living space outdoors, providing a sheltered retreat with room for seating and planting. Textured brickwork and glass balustrades frame the view, creating a calm and open backdrop for morning coffee or evening unwinding.

The double bedroom benefits from two windows on different walls, ensuring generous natural light and a pleasant sense of openness. A mirrored built-in wardrobe enhances the proportions, while plush carpeting and a muted palette create a peaceful, inviting atmosphere.

The bathroom pairs clean, contemporary lines with soft neutral finishes. Large-format tiling, a full-width mirrored cabinet and dark wood-effect detailing are all lit by recessed spotlights, delivering a serene and refined environment.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS...

"We bought this property off plan over 5 years ago and have seen the area develop beautifully. From an award winning pub refurbishment on our very doorstep of The Boleyn Tavern to The Central Park Cafe for fresh sourdough loafs and delicious coffee to enjoy walking the dog around the park. Not to mention the strong feeling of community around the development between neighbours. The development is so well connected just a short bike ride down the green way you are in Queen Elizabeth Park and on to the newly built East Bank with bars, restaurants, theatres. Or in the opposite direction you can find yourself in the piece and quiet of Epping Forest."
