Forest Twilight

Forest Twilight: Greater London

Right on the edge of Epping Forest, this beautiful semi-detached Edwardian house has been renovated to an exacting standard, while still retaining many of its original features. The open kitchen living area is the heart of the house, and is bathed in plenty of natural light thanks to glass doors spanning the width of the room and a large skylight. High ceilings, mature indoor plants, and contemporary art characterise the space, alongside Scandi woods and statement pottery. The glass doors lead out onto the private garden, complete with a trampoline for the kids to bounce on, and an outdoor table for long summer lunches.

Each of the bedrooms is full of charm, decorated with antique furniture and unique trinkets to make you feel right at home. We love the kids’ room, which is full of stuffed toys and books to keep your little one amused throughout your stay. The house is on a peaceful square, one minute walk from Epping Forest. Take a picnic to Hollow Pond in the summertime and watch the rowboats bobbing along the water. You’ll be right on the edge of Walthamstow, the trendy London neighbourhood full of independent coffee shops, vintage boutiques, and excellent restaurants. This area enjoys a village feel and is surrounded by green space – but the hustle and bustle of Central London can still be reached in thirty-five minutes via public transport.
