A magnificently restored Victorian former police house with stunning vaulted ceilings and exposed roof timbers in the open-plan living space.
Overall Description
This magnificent Victorian property was built in 1860 as one of the police houses for the gunpowder mill next door and has been sympathetically modernised by the current owners to create a modern family home with a great deal of period character and charm. The interior has been completely updated with improvements that include rewiring, new radiators, new engineered oak flooring, a new bespoke kitchen, period fireplaces, redecoration and restoration of the roof. The open-plan living space and kitchen really does have the wow factor with its high vaulted ceilings, exposed original roof trusses and period fireplaces with exposed brickwork on the chimneys at either end. There is a master bedroom with luxury ensuite, family bathroom and two more bedrooms (one a double), and all of the bedrooms have glazed doors that open out into the sunny and private walled garden to the rear. There is a private parking area to the rear accessed through a communal electric gate and the property has views across the riverside meadows to its front. If you are looking for a spacious family home that is very much out of the ordinary then early viewing is stongly advised. We have an Open Day booked from 10am to 11am on Saturday the 12th of April so please call to book a time slot.
Location
The property sits in a riverside location overlooking the cattle grazing on the meadows opposite, with the Royal Powder Mills, of which it was originally one of the police houses, just around the corner. The property is well located for the shops and other local amenities in Waltham Abbey including the Tesco Super-store and is a short drive from the Pavilions shopping centre in neighbouring Waltham Cross. The property is short walk from Waltham Cross Station with regular services to London Liverpool Street and is very convenient for both the A10 and M25, making it very practical for busy commuters. There are several good schools in the area and just up the A10 is the Brookfield Shopping Centre (M&S, Tesco, Next). A ten minute walk away is the Grundy Leisure centre (swimming pool, tennis, squash, gym) and the Lea Valley Whitewater Centre (Olympic venue) is within walking distance. The property is also just a short walk from excellent country walks and cycle paths - Waltham Abbey Woodland and Cedars Park are close-by, as is the The Laura Trott Leisure Centre.
