House For Sale £2,400,000
Using the term ‘rarely available’ in a property description could not be more apt than in the case of this magnificent villa, located in central Wanstead. Petty Son & Prestwich are immensely proud to offer this outstanding home, boasting grand, luxurious rooms over four floors, including an spectacular master suite, cavernous kitchen/diner with walk-in pantry and separate utility, stunning reception rooms and a generous landscaped garden.
This property is one of the only known Victorian Villas to come to market in a number of years on the highly desirable Grosvenor Road as, understandably, due to their generous proportions and large gardens, nearly all the Villas on Grosvenor Road have now been converted into period apartments. However, when purchased in 2015 as a near derelict home, the current family have with painstaking precision and sparing no expense, restored the property to its former glory as a grand period home. Grosvenor Road; a wide, tree-lined road in central Wanstead, lined with the period homes more akin to the more central areas of London, is only 0.2 Miles from Wanstead High Street and equidistant from both Wanstead and Snaresbrook Central Line Station's (0.4 Miles) meaning everything is within easy reach of the home. There are a number of Ofsted rated good and outstanding schools and nurseries within close proximity of the home including Wanstead Church School (0.3 Miles), Nightingale Primary School (0.6 Miles), Our Lady of Lourdes (0.6 Miles) and The Grove Montessori Nursery (0.1 Mile).
Even before you step foot within the home it is clear to see the quality of work. The majority of the home's vast windows, which provide an unbelievable amount of natural light throughout the property, have been replaced with wooden, double glazed sashes which sit beautifully alongside the restored/replaced high skirtings, coving, ceiling roses and cast iron radiators throughout the home. Plantation shutters feature in many of the rooms, with thermostatic controls individually servicing each room allowing such a large house to be heated affectively.
To the front there is a gravel driveway providing plenty of parking for at least three vehicles, wide, gated side access with surrounding lighting and electric charging point completing the picture. The wrought iron railings, mosaic tiled stairs and porch lead to a large door with impressive overhead lantern and four panelled door with central door knob – the main entrance to the home. There is an additional entrance to the front which can be accessed down a small flight of stairs, leading to a lower ground floor-living quarters, housing one of the homes huge reception rooms, shower room and impressive live-in family kitchen. A notable feature of the home is everything has its place. All of the homes utilities and electrical service points are neatly housed out of the way in two cupboards, located immediately as you enter the exceptionally wide entrance hall on the lower ground floor. The lower ground floor shower room has concealed storage with a weather boarded appearance, taking full advantage of the understairs space whilst the wide hallway leading to it has ample room for bikes, coats and shoes without feeling cluttered.
The solid wooden floor in the entrance hall leads seamlessly into the live-in family kitchen where a separate utility and walk in pantry, both which benefit from recessed, sliding doors, make it easy to keep such a large space neat and tidy at all times. The wooden shaker style kitchen with marble worktop features 'aged brass' cabinetry, neatly tying in with the boiling hot water tap, light switches and plug sockets of the same style. There is plenty of space for an eight seater dining table to be out at all times with additional seating available at the freestanding island/breakfast bar. The sitting area provides plenty of space for a good sized furniture suite making this a truly family space, whilst the huge sky light, floor-to-ceiling bifold doors and side window ensure, like the rest of the house, the home is never short of natural light. Dimmable, combination lighting and recessed ceiling speakers allow the space to be quickly turned into a relaxing space where you can wind down with a glass of wine and take in views over the stunning sunken patio and garden or retire in the separate reception next door.
The first floor can be accessed from the lower ground floor or via the home's main entrance door, both of which lead to the immensely impressive hallway. Solid wooden herringbone pattered flooring lead you from the hallway to the dining and formal sitting room. Though two distinct spaces, the reception and dining rooms are connected by a wide archway allowing occupants to use both rooms as one space if desired. The dining room can easily accommodate a further eight seater dining table, or larger, with the fitted cupboards providing plenty of space for all the essential dinner party items in addition to a warming drawer and space for a large wine fridge.
The sitting room has again been designed with pinpoint precision. The inbuilt low level cabinets sitting either side of the fireplace line up exactly with the double height skirting and are complimented by floating shelves and surrounded by a glorious moulded ceiling. The central wood burner with surrounding marble chimney piece finishes off the formal reception allowing the room to become a cosy haven in the colder months.
From the first floor hallway you are lead up to a half landing with a handy W.C and then to the second floor landing which, like the third floor landing, are generous and furnishable. The first floor features both the largest and smallest of the bedrooms on offer; a charming single bedroom currently used as a nursery with fitted single wardrobe, and a superb master suite. Upon entering the master suite you immediately enter the bedroom area, a calming space decorated in blush pink where an emperor sized bed could easily be accommodated. Two doorways, positioned either side of the bed, lead you through to a high-quality fitted dressing room and then into a remarkable bathroom which, like the other bathrooms in the home, oozes quality. A combination of luxury fixtures and fittings the space offers Burlington twin sinks, a large, free-standing mirrored, huge shower with entry possible from both sides and recessed 'Fiora' slate shower tray, and free standing vanity area with side lights. The second floor offers two vast double bedrooms, both with bespoke wardrobes, and a further bathroom, again with fixtures and fittings in keeping with the period of the home.
Last, but not least, the landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed. The sunken patio leading from the live-in kitchen continues to a formal lawn surrounded by raised beds edged with sleepers. The rear of the garden is decked and currently used as a children's play area with the adjacent summerhouse and awning allowing the space to be enjoyed throughout the year.
