If you lived here...

The charm of returning home to this striking period building won’t wear off any time soon — and the first-floor apartment inside more than lives up to its exterior. The bright and airy open-plan kitchen/living space is cleverly arranged, with the kitchen neatly tucked to one side while still enjoying the flow of light. There’s plenty of room here for both relaxing and entertaining, with stylish units and integrated appliances adding to the sleek feel. The bedroom is just as immaculate, while the bathroom stands out with its elegant monochrome flooring and timeless design touches.

Wander down to the heart of Wanstead and you’ll quickly forget you’re in London at all. From horse riding and farmers’ markets to leafy parks and inviting pubs, the area has a distinctly village-like feel — yet you’re only 17 minutes from central London via the Central line, with Wanstead station just a nine-minute stroll away.

If you want to stay local, though, La Bakerie will always be a winner on work from home days, but for a treat, book in for the excellent Provender Restaurant or the Cardamom Room. Takeaway? Tiffin Tin is fantastically popular throughout the whole area, as is Luppolo Pizza.

To the south, you’ll find Wanstead Park, a much loved public space and landmark of historical importance. Meanwhile to the north-east, there’s Roding Valley Park, home to a glorious nature reserve full of wildlife.
