2 bed Flat For Sale £415,000
Detailed Description
Close to Wanstead Flats and the bustle of the High Road, this delightful two-bedroom Victorian maisonette sits on a quiet residential street close to Wanstead Flats with Overground and tube services just a four and ten-minute walk respectively.
Inside, period proportions combine with engineered oak wood flooring, brushed chrome light switches, elegant tiling and accents of colour to create a fun and relaxed contemporary home. The shower room was completely refurbished in 2017, while more recent upgrades include a newly installed Valliant boiler and rear door.
From the privet hedge-screened front garden, an original triple-panelled Victorian front door opens into a light and airy private entrance hallway with a useful storage cupboard.
Head right into a fabulous primary bedroom or living room where the generous canted bay window has obscured glass to the lower panels and custom-fit Venetian blinds for privacy. Two-tone walls work in harmony with a soft taupe carpet, bespoke open wood shelving and low-level cupboard, creating an inviting atmosphere that would suit any purpose.
The next door along leads to a second double that captures the morning rays through the window facing the courtyard. With a deep sea-green feature wall and space for a large freestanding wardrobe, it's a lovely space for guests, a home office or a primary bedroom.
Continue along the hallway to discover the beautifully refurbished shower room. White flat matt metro wall tiles and a frameless glass shower screen provide a clean and crisp backdrop to the traditional fittings and monochrome Victorian-style tiling underfoot. The walk-in rainfall shower has an additional handset and ceramic lever taps, which echo those on the good-sized vanity sink. There's also a matching chrome heated towel rail, a close-coupled loo and a well-lit mirrored cabinet.
The engineered oak floor extends from the hallway into a social eat-in kitchen with a dining area that's big enough for a good-sized table and a sofa or armchair. White shaker-style cabinets with chrome bar handles contrast with bevelled grey metro tile splashbacks, a practical grid-formation tiled floor and solid wood worktops to capitalise on the natural light streaming through the courtyard windows. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, gas hob and extractor, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and a fridge-freezer.
The new, part-glazed back door opens to a courtyard paved with attractive composite sleepers, allowing ample room for a hammock, seating, and pot plants. A Passion Flower winds along the timber fence; while a climbing Jasmine grows up the back wall, scenting the air during the summer and an evergreen Golden Choisya (Mexican orange) provides a splash of colour all year round. Step up to a pebble path flanked by flowerbeds, arriving on a circular suntrap patio with a Tardis-like willow-green painted shed just behind.
A note from the owners
'The sun warms the garden all morning and until mid-afternoon in the summer. Leaving the back door open makes it easy to entertain our friends with food and cocktails - we once had 14 people for dinner and lined up tables all down the garden!'
In the neighbourhood
The friendly community replete with local shops surrounding Norman Road feels small and welcoming while still being well-connected to the City. Its fabulous location means you can walk to Francis Road, High Road Leytonstone and the beautiful Wanstead Flats within ten minutes.
The current owners love to wander around Wanstead Park to admire the April bluebells, watch baby coots and spot sunbathing terrapins in the ponds during the summer. Alternatively, take a short cycle or bus ride to explore Hackney Marshes, Hollow Pond, Epping Forest and Queen Elizabeth Park.
Favourite local pubs and eateries include Panda Dim Sum; District M?t's Vietnamese cuisine; To Be Consumed wine bar with Friday night pop-up Mexican food; The Red Lion for great beer and outdoor movies; Northcote for fired pizza and Heathcote & Star's beer garden.
