A word from the owner...

"Our beautiful period property is one of the two oldest houses in Ilford - a building of local historical interest where we have also created our own family history over the last 30+ years. Our kids learnt to ride their bikes in the park just over the road and 20 years later we have walked our dog in the very same park. The park is home not only to oodles of wildlife but also to the beautiful valentines mansion whose grounds were recently used to film an episode of The Antiques Roadshow.
We hope you enjoy creating your own memories in this neighbourhood as much as we have and will love this property in the same way. "
