If you lived here...

Tucked away on a quiet residential street in sought-after Wanstead, you’re perfectly placed for both calm and connection with both Snaresbrook Station (7 minutes) and Wanstead Station (10 minutes) on the Central Line within easy reach.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a light-filled through-reception room. A large bay window fitted with crisp white plantation shutters lets in the morning sun without sacrificing privacy, while a second window gives the space a lovely dual-aspect glow. The warm wood flooring runs the length of the room, drawing the eye towards an original fireplace framed in a simple white mantel—elegant and inviting.
Just beyond, the kitchen keeps things classic and functional. Think solid wood worktops, white cabinetry, and mosaic tile detailing—clean, practical, and timeless. The adjacent conservatory opens directly onto the garden through double doors—ideal for summer evenings and casual gatherings.

Upstairs, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms. The larger sits at the front, complete with built-in storage and another character fireplace. The bathroom on this level is all about understated luxury—floor-to-ceiling tiling in soft tones, a freestanding tub, a walk-in shower, and polished brass fixtures that add just the right touch of glamour. The marble-topped vanity doesn’t hurt, either.

Head up again, and the loft conversion is a standout. Flooded with light from Velux-style skylights, it’s spacious, practical, and thoughtfully designed with built-in wardrobes and eaves storage. There’s another bedroom tucked at the rear with peaceful garden views, and a sleek second bathroom with Crittall-style glazing and black fittings—smart, modern, and right on trend.

The garden is a delightful, minimalist low-maintenance space with a patio giving way to artificial grass and a wooden shed at the rear.
