House For Sale £1,300,000
Bordered by Wanstead Flats, the Southernmost boundary of Epping Forest, Wanstead Park, the extensive grounds once owned by the now long demolished Wanstead House, the Aldersbrook Conservation area is spoiled for choice when it comes to the beautiful, natural surroundings. Commuting time has also been cut for many, with the newly opened Elizabeth Line providing access to Liverpool Street in 14 minutes, or Paddington in just over 35 minutes, from Manor Park Station. As of 2023, when the Elizabeth Line is planned to be fully operational, it is planned for trains to depart Manor Park Station every five minutes, resulting in swifter and more efficient journey times. Aldersbrook estate is predominantly made up of large, attractive Edwardian homes, and some, like this particular property, still enjoy many of the sought-after original features which create a feeling of period grandeur.
Past the wrought iron railings, over the Minton tiled pathway leading you towards the exposed brick façade, with sash windows and impressive doorway with impressive etched glass inserts, this home does not disappoint on character. A mix of exposed original flooring, ornate plasterwork and high skirtings sit beautifully alongside the tastefully executed rear extension, complete with ground floor bay housing the breakfast table. The formal reception to the front houses an impressive original fireplace, one of many, but certainly the grandest in the home, with the room easily accommodating a large furniture suite. The rear reception is equally as impressive, measuring an impressive 23ft. 4'' in length, with sky lantern providing natural light in addition to the bi-fold doors, which open up the space to the landscaped garden as well as providing a pleasing all year-round view. The contemporary 25ft. 4'' kitchen/breakfast room oozes quality with an Urban Myth Kitchen and Quartz worktop housing only the necessary cooking facilities including double oven with warming drawer, thanks to the large separate utility room with handy W.C storing the larger, nosier appliances. There is also a good-sized cellar, perfect for additional storage, accessible from the ground floor.
To the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms, the smallest of which is still a good sized single or, at present, a comfortable home office. All the bedrooms are lucky enough to retain original fireplaces, with the largest having been sympathetically adapted to provide a handy en-suite shower room in addition to the neighbouring shower room accessible from the first floor landing area. The second-floor bedroom is an impressive 19ft. 10'' x 16ft. 8'' allowing the space to be used as either the principal bedroom, guest suite or play space depending upon the family's needs. There is handy, secure, gated side access to the landscaped rear garden, one which has a natural, woodland like feel whilst also providing three distinct, practical 'zones' – a seating area leading to a dining space and rear play area or additional seating area. The garden feels incredibly private thanks to the mature, surrounding trees and is additionally low-maintenance without taking away the opportunity for further planting opportunities in the surrounding raised and lower level beds.
