IF YOU LIVED HERE…
You'll find plenty to appreciate about this handsome 1930s home, from its generous proportions and traditional features to the established garden beyond.
The private driveway provides off-street parking and access to the garage, while the welcoming entrance hall leads through to the main living spaces.
At the front, a spacious reception room provides a lovely setting for relaxing or entertaining, with period detailing adding character. A second reception room sits to the rear, opening into a bright conservatory overlooking the garden.
Wonderfully green and filled with mature planting, the garden has a lovely sense of privacy and tranquillity. Whether you're imagining summer gatherings, somewhere for children to play or a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, there's plenty of space to make it your own.
The kitchen overlooks the rear of the property and retains its charming retro character. A separate utility room and ground floor WC add welcome practicality.
Upstairs, you'll discover four well-proportioned bedrooms, two with built-in storage. There's flexibility for growing families, visiting guests or a dedicated home office, while a family bathroom and separate WC complete the first floor.
Although the house retains much of its original personality, there's exciting scope to give it a new lease of life. From cosmetic improvements to a more ambitious redesign or extension, subject to the necessary permissions, there's an opportunity to combine its 1930s charm with contemporary family living.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...
"My Mum and Dad bought this home 65 years ago and raised their family here.
It was a lovely house to grow up in, plenty of room for us all to be together and space to be alone too. The garden was big enough to play in/host parties and yet also relax in a peaceful environment.
There was, and still is, a great sense of community in Raymond Avenue with friendly neighbours of all ages and cultures.
With great schools, nearby shops, cafes, bars and forest walks, there is something for everyone. South Woodford station is only a short walk away and gives easy access to London for work or entertainment.
I think the house is ready to be updated for the next generation to live and grow in and I hope whoever buys it will be as happy as we all were."
