House For Sale £825,000
A wonderfully characterful, significantly substantial and utterly desirable four bedroom family home overlooking the grand green expanse of Wanstead Flats. Inside, Design & Decor is a welcoming mix of lovable, bright touches and original features, with twin bathrooms and a wealth of sociable space.
Not only are you perfectly placed with views over the vast Flats, but you have plenty of transport options at your fingertips, including Forest Gate and its incoming Crossrail facilities.
If you lived here…
You'll be stretching out in over 1400 square feet of living space, all lovingly finished and with gorgeous leafy green views all around. Take the first of your twin receptions, the large bay window to the front frames the expansive leafy vista of Wanstead Flats and lets in swathes of natural light to illuminate the broad engineered hardwood underfoot. Your second reception is directly connected and you may be tempted to knock them through to create a twenty four foot long through space.
Elsewhere, you have a lengthy lean to occupying the side return, ideal for storage and utility it also connects rear reception to the private garden. And what a garden it is; a sheltered deck – perfect for luxuriating in the foliage all year round, gives way to a length of patio, home to a pair of sheds and perfect for realising your landscaping ambitions. After this you have a lush length of lawn, flanked by timber fencing and mature greenery.
Back inside and the ground floor's completed by your 210 square foot kitchen/diner, beautifully bright thanks to the rear wall of bi-folding patio doors and dual aspect, with a window opening out onto the bright lean to. In here you have cream floor tiles underfoot and a handsome suite of fitted cabinets and integrated appliances including an extra-wide stainless steel range oven. Recessed spotlights glimmer overhead.
Head upstairs for your first three bedrooms, a trio of nicely equitable doubles coming in at around ninety square feet apiece. Design & Decor throughout is as bright and characterful as the rest of the property, with bespoke shelving and pale wooden floors. Your rear-most bedroom is a generous 150 square feet, with tranquil views over your garden. Finally your twin bathrooms; one a sleek shower room with mosaic tiling from floor to ceiling, the other finished in mint green and cream, with a shower over the tub.
Outside and the most appealing attraction is, of course, the broad sweeping vista of Wanstead Flats laid out before your front door. Once the favoured hunting ground of Henry VIII and still the widest, wildest natural green space for miles around, it makes for a wonderful front garden. Perfect for morning jogs and evening strolls. Meanwhile, less than a half mile away on foot you have Forest Gate station. You can already be whisked direct to Liverpool Street in just thirteen minutes, and with the imminent arrival of Crossrail (platform and ticket office improvements have already been made) journey times will improve still further, plus you'll have direct runs to the West End via Bond street.
What else?
- Parents will be pleased to know you have twenty two 'Good' or 'Outstanding' rated primary and secondary schools less than mile away on foot. The 'Outstanding' Forest Gate Community School is less than ten minutes' walk.
- Also on your doorstep is Wanstead Park overground station, for the Gospel Oak to Barking line. Just five minutes on foot,
- The increasingly popular social hub of Winchelsea Road is just a third of a mile around the corner and home to a fine choice of independent wining and dining establishments, from The Wanstead Tap to the much loved Arch Rivals restaurant.
