A thoroughly elegant, impeccably flawless, utterly capacious and gloriously appointed semi-detached five bedroom family home. It's all enviably located on one of the broad, sweeping streets that have made Wanstead one of East London's most sought-after villages, with open green spaces within easy reach.
Pushing 1800 square feet, over three floors and an eighty square foot cellar, plus a lengthy private rear garden, this is a tremendous family home on a grand scale, and in a fine location.
If you lived here...
You'll be luxuriating amongst some truly sumptuous surroundings – your 230 square foot front lounge isn't even your most generous hosting space but we'll start in there; your curved bay window with lattice detailing – blessed with leafy views - fills the room with natural light while broad blonde engineered hardwood underfoot, vintage moulding overhead and a charming hearth with ornate period mantelpiece all combine make this a covetable space indeed.
Across the hallway and you'll come to the prime hosting spot – an astoundingly capacious kitchen/diner coming in at over 360 square feet, sleekly decked out in spotlessly on-trend matt marble tiling. It's quite something to behold; the kitchen area itself is adorned in a pewter grey suite, white letterbox tiles, a chef's oven, Dublin sink and island with a sophisticated breakfast bar - perfect for all sorts of gatherings. Through to the dining area and you're met with an incredibly pristine space with a quartet of skylights and constellation of recessed spot lighting overhead and concertina doors opening out the whole rear wall to the garden.
And what a garden it is! Coming in at a generous forty-five feet you've a mix of a large patio area begging for al fresco dining, the lushest of lawns, beds bursting with flowering plants and surrounded by foliage. Back inside you'll also find a handy utility room and immaculate bathroom with double length rainfall shower cubicle. Up the stairs now and you're met with a truly breathtaking trio of similarly-styled double bedrooms. The master comes in at a huge 240 square feet, a bay window ushering in swathes of natural light, the plushest of grey carpets underfoot, simply beautiful pewter walls and an ebony vintage hearth with ornate mantlepiece surround.
Your other two double bedrooms (130 and 110 square feet respectively) are equally luxurious and come with recessed spot lighting and charming garden views. You'll also find the family bathroom on this storey and it's finished with the now-familiar luxurious detailing; more lattice gilding on the windows, a tub with rainfall shower and gleaming marbled letterbox tiles. Up one more flight of stairs and you have two more glorious double bedrooms, the largest of which comes in at 130 square feet with twin skylights and a skylit en suite, the second a still generous 120 square foot double with an even larger en suite and incredible rooftop views.
Step outside your magnificent Edwardian home (that's set back from your tree-lined street) and you're a seven minute stroll from the heart of Wanstead - our bustling East London village High Street, flanked by green space and full of excellent bars, restaurants and gastropubs. Hungry? The Larder comes highly recommended - a bustling gem of a cafe with incredible patisserie serving up a huge array of vegetarian and gluten-free delights. Or try the salt beef burger at former 19th century coaching inn The Cuckfield; here you'll find the equal of anything in the city. Central London is itself only around fifteen minutes away via Wanstead or Snaresbrook tube stations, both an eleven minute walk and with direct routes to the West End and the City via the Central Line. Local bus routes from the High Street will whisk you across London, while the N55 night bus runs all the way to Oxford Circus and back.
What else?
- Local schools are excellent, with ten primary/secondaries rated 'Good' or better by Ofsted in a one mile radius, half of which have been recently awarded 'Outstanding' status, including Nightingale Primary, just an eight minute walk.?- You have private parking and drivers can be on the North Circular in around five minutes.
- You'll forget you're in London with so much natural green and blue space within easy reach. Epping Forest and Eagle Pond are a mere twelve minutes away on foot and perfect for losing yourself in nature.
A word from the owner....
"Wanstead is a great place with a community feel. People still say Hi to each other when passing! It has some nice pubs and restaurants and has great transport links into or out of London ....Neighbours on both sides are lovely!"
