The Drive, Chingford

A truly fabulous five bedroom detached Art Deco style family home, which has recently been added to Waltham Forest's Local Heritage List. This highly regarded tree lined location and Conservation area is just a few minutes walk from Chingford Station, restaurants and the ever popular Epping Forest. This bespoke and most elegant house, which we understand dates back to 1934, offers a wealth of fine original features, with all aspects of the accommodation having such generous and grand proportions, totalling over 3,000 square feet. The mature rear garden has been lovingly tended by the present Vendors, who have enjoyed the property for nearly thirty years. Plentiful off street parking is provided by way of the excellent gated driveway, which leads to adjacent garaging. Chingford Station is around 3 minutes walk away, offering an excellent and frequent service to London Liverpool Street station, which takes approximately 27 minutes. Commuters can also change at Walthamstow Central Station to the Victoria Line underground. Epping Forest is literally at the end of The Drive, with its vast green spaces to be enjoyed, along with Chingford golf course. A beautifully sumptuous home that we hope the next custodians enjoy as much as the current owners have.
