Here is what the seller has to sayI have lived here with my partner for 24 years. It has always been a quiet road even though it is just around the corner for a popular high street and just yards from a railway station. The neighbours themselves are also quiet but friendly and helpful. Overall very nice.
The major benefit of living here are the transport links and a still very busy high street. The overground tube and numerous buses are literally either at the end of the road or just a 10 mins walk away. Similary located is a truly diverse range of pubs, restaurants cafes, takeaways and independent shops as well as 4 or 5 supermarkets. Walking and outdoor space. Acres of grass, trees, water and wildlife on Wanstead flats and Hollow ponds. We are moving having retired recently and moving to the coast of my native Donegal. We have a place to stay in Ireland so we are consequently chain free.
