I think it's because there are comparatively few late-Victorian properties and loads of early 20th Century stuff, which just doesn't tend to look as nice or classy (or maybe I should just say "traditional" and accept it's a matter of taste).
Yeah - I’m tempted to explore more but I was getting tired by that point so headed back through Woodford. The couple who’s house we’re buying have bought a big boi in Loughton with a lovely garden for similar money but that just feels too far out for me
The surroundings are great.
