Only 10 mins walk to the Elizabeth Line, getting you to the City before most finish their toast. Then come back to a chain free family home with the park beyond your back fence. If you work in London but want to tip the work-life balance firmly in your favour, the lifestyle upgrade here is hard to ignore. Seven Kings Station on the Elizabeth Line is only a 10-minute walk away. From there you can get to Liverpool Street in around 20 minutes and Canary Wharf in about 25. There is also easy access to Newbury Park Station (Central Line), which makes the daily travel into town a lot easier to accept. Back on Chester Road, you pull onto your own driveway with space for two cars. No circling after work. No unloading the weekly shop from halfway down the road. Inside, the reception room runs almost the full depth of the house (it’s over 27 feet long). It’s also wide enough to zone into living and dining areas, with French doors leading into the kitchen so the space feels connected but not too chaotic. The rear kitchen diner is where everyday life settles. There’s space for a proper table, breakfast bar seating for quick weekday meals and rooflights that bring in extra daylight. French doors open straight onto the patio, so summer evenings can easily spill outside. There’s also a downstairs shower room, which makes busy weekday mornings easier and gives useful flexibility when guests pop round or stay over. Upstairs you have four bedrooms, two at the front, two at the back. Two are comfortable doubles, one’s a decent sized single with fitted storage and the smallest is currently used as a home office but is equally suited to a nursery. The family bathroom is fully tiled with a shower over the bath. Clean, practical and ready to use from day one. The garden has a patio and lawn, with a practical large shed at the back and Westwood Recreation Park directly behind the back fence. There are no houses immediately behind you, just open green space, a playground and the sort of outlook that feels surprisingly open for this part of Ilford. For families, that changes how your weekends work. You can enjoy a kickabout without packing up the car. Get some fresh air and have somewhere to let the dog off the lead just 2 minutes away. You’re also well placed for all-the-day to day essentials that make life run smoothly. The 86 and N86 bus routes run along the High Road at the end of Chester Road, linking Romford and Stratford around the clock. The A118 connects to the North Circular, and the A12 gives you a quick route towards the M11 or out of London when you need it. Seven Kings High Road is close by for everyday shopping (Aldi and McDonalds are at the end of the road, with Tesco Extra just a little further away). The Exchange at Ilford is within easy reach for big name shops. Including Westfield-Stratford shopping centre close by. Great proximity to local hospitals (King George & Queens ) and nearby GP services. The area is also excellent for access to fitness clubs, cinemas, libraries and theatres. Several well regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby, including the “Outstanding” Ark Isaac Newton Academy which is only a 20-minute walk or a 5 minute bike ride away. And with the house offered chain free, you won’t be holding on for someone else’s move. If you want the speed of the Elizabeth Line or Central Line without giving up real family space, this one is well worth checking out - get in touch to arrange a viewing.
