House For Sale £1,100,000
A substantial, elegantly appointed four bedroom semi detached, in our ever popular Warren Estate neighborhood of broad sweeping avenues surrounded by natural green spaces. With Wanstead High Street, the heart of this increasingly popular East London village, less than a half mile on foot.
As generous as the property is, there's scope for further development with the loft space so far unconverted. Subject to the usual permissions you could, as your neighbours have, add a whole extra storey to this already grand property, making this an uncommonly good investment.
If you lived here...
You'll be stretching out in almost 1500 square feet of impeccably finished living space, with the front reception alone coming in at 220 square feet, all bright and brimming with vintage touches from the ceiling rose and cornicing overhead to the original floorboards underfoot. Your separate dining room is still more spacious, a hair under 300 square feet artfully separated by a bespoke fretwork arch.
Double patio doors lead out into the sixty foot, south facing rear garden. An elegantly landscaped affair, it begins with a generous patio - ideal for barbecues and al fresco dining of all kinds – before descending to an immaculate length of lawn flanked by paths, raised beds and timber fencing. There's a beautiful central bed with a rose arch before it ends in a second patio with a pair of sheds. An amazing space.
Back inside and the ground floor is completed by a spare WC and laundry room, plus the kitchen, decked out in a smart timber suite. Head upstairs (past some gorgeous vintage stained glass) and you have a large landing with plenty of fitted storage. The capacious master bedroom comes in at over 200 square feet, with more original timber underfoot. Bedrooms two and three are both solid doubles of 100 and 130 square feet respectively, both with leafy garden views.
Bedroom four is a generous single of 90 square feet, ideal for a child, home office or dressing room while, finally, the family bathroom is an elegant, understated affair in pale grey, with a tub and separate shower cubicle. Outside, Wanstead tube station is less than a half mile on foot and will whisk you directly into Liverpool Street in just eighteen minutes via the Central Line.
Once a royal hunting ground and the favoured country retreat of Henry VIII, Wanstead's rural past is still apparent in its multitude of open green spaces, from Epping Forest to Wanstead Flats. George Green and Christ Church Green flank the bustling High Street, a rich collection of independent shops, supermarkets and excellent bars, restaurants and gastropubs. Try the Manor House, a wonderfully stylish establishment that does a great Sunday Roast.
What else?
- Local schools are excellent, you have eight primary/secondaries within a one mile radius, four rated 'Good' by Ofsted and four deemed 'Outstanding'.
- You have off street parking for two cars, and drivers can be on the North Circular in less than five minutes.
- Wanstead High Street is great, but be sure to check out Nightingale Lane just a little further on, it's home to some lovely traditional pubs from The Duke, to The Lane to The Nightingale On The Green.

A word from the owner....
"We have lived in our home for almost 31 years and have always enjoyed living here in Wanstead. When we moved here we had our 4 boys living with us. They all moved out and have families of their own and we feel it is now time for us to move somewhere smaller and closer to our family. My husband is a very keen gardener and as such, we have had several lorry loads of topsoil delivered to allow us to grow all our own vegetables which the
south east facing garden lends itself to. We know most of the residents on Langley Drive as a direct result of the Whatsapp group. We shall certainly miss the area and will take away fond memories of our time here. It has been a great family home!"
