5 bedroom detached house for sale

A truly substantial Edwardian double fronted detached residence arranged over three floors and being situated directly opposite Wanstead Park. Wanstead Park extends to approximately 140 acres and was formally part of the Grand Park and garden surrounded Wanstead House, in 2001 the park was officially given a Grade II* listing status on the English Heritage register of historical parks and gardens.

An attractive entrance porch with balcony over, that also extends over one of the bay windows, affords access via an entrance door with stained glass detail to the spacious entrance hall. Key rooms adjoining the hall are two extremely large reception rooms, the morning room and kitchen, there is also a useful cellar.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, family bathroom and en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom and the second floor provides two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

To the exterior of the property there is a walled frontage with railings over and off street parking is provided. The size of the rear garden equally matches the sense of spaciousness that comes with the house and is a pleasant feature of the home.

What the Owner says:

We have lived happily here for some 28 years, this is a wonderful house with all the proportions you would expect from a property of this style and period. We fell for the charm of the house, including the Adams fireplace, the very moment we walked through the door, in fact we had always admired this house even before it came up for sale.

There is such a feeling of light and space in this house, all the bedrooms are well proportioned, both the drawing room and dining room are extremely spacious and are located at the front of the home with views of a woodland area of Wanstead Park via large bay windows with stained glass detail. During the summer months the sun shines predominately on the rear of the house due to the south facing aspect and the patio provides an ideal spot to eat al fresco whilst overlooking the garden. If you require some shade there is an electrically controlled awning that extends out over the patio.

The location really impressed us all those years ago and it still does, we are lucky enough not to be overlooked at the front as we are immediately opposite Wanstead Park and you get the best of both worlds here, urban living with a semi-rural atmosphere, yet we are well situated with easy access to the A406/ M25/ M11, Statford and Docklands. We are less than 1.5 miles from one underground and two overground stations. The area also caters for sporting interest with cricket, bowls, tennis and golf clubs, whilst a number of good schools are accessible.
