Description

An exceptionally spacious, extended four bedroom house with outbuildings, in need of renovation and with huge development potential in sought after Forest Gate. Three reception rooms, kitchen diner, large bedrooms, original features, separate two story coach house and additional outbuildings with direct views to Wanstead Flats.
 
Sidney Road is a quiet residential street in a much sought after location, benefitting from exceptional local amenities and transport links. This end of terrace property - the largest on the street - sits within a large, private corner plot and retains many original features, including full height mullioned bay windows to the front, side and rear facades. Access from the road is via a small paved front garden leading to a glazed porch. There’s also access through the side garden.

The porch provides access to the glazed entrance door and into the main hallway, which retains many of its original features including tiled floor, high ceilings, dado rails, deep skirting, wide architraves and bold cornice.

To the left is the impressively sized through reception room, which can be accessed by either of two doors. The front part of the room has a large bay window looking out of the front of the property with views to Wanstead Flats. Through a squared archway, the rear part of the room also has a bay window which faces the side area of the property.
 
From the reception room, the hallway leads to the large L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room, with access on the right to the cellar. The first part of the kitchen has a range of base and wall units and includes space for a large stove. The second area includes a further range of cabinets and work surfaces, looking out through the twin windows to the side garden.
 
From the kitchen there’s access to the large lean-to which occupies a portion of the side garden area. Formed from blockwork walls and a glazed roof, this could be updated and retained to provide additional living or workspace, or could be removed to return the side garden to its original configuration. Doors lead from the lean-to out to the retained area of the side garden, which is predominantly paved.
 
The kitchen also leads into another reception room which is currently used as a formal dining room. This room looks out towards the rear of the property via the original bay and through a conservatory which, in turn, provides access to a small rear garden. The rear garden is, once again, predominantly laid to paving. An additional door from the conservatory leads to another room which is currently configured as a large shower room with a number of cubicles.
 
The shower room also has direct access to the coach house which can also be entered from the rear garden – this could be removed to create a larger outdoor space depending on your renovation vision. The large coach house is currently laid out with several smaller rooms and there is a second story with a matching footprint. This building previously had planning permission for conversion to two one bedroom apartments, which could be investigated to further boost this property’s investment value.  
 
Back into the main house and up to the first floor where you’ll come to a large split-level landing. The lower level of the landing leads to bedroom three and four and the family shower room. The upper level of the landing leads to bedrooms one and two and also has a large built-in storage cupboard.
 
Forest Gate is a popular area with superb transport links, alongside great hospitality businesses, shopping and other leisure facilities. Wanstead Park Overground station and Forest Gate Elizabeth Line stations are both only a 10 minute walk and there are numerous bus services in the immediate area. The unique area of the Winchelsea Road Railway Arches is only a few minutes on foot, with its fashionable bars and restaurants, including The Wanstead Tap, Pretty Decent Beer, Wanstead Kitchen and Wild Goose Bakery. The Holly Tree Pub, renowned for its roast dinners is just two minutes away and High Road Leytonstone is close by, which has a very extensive range of supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants and other services. The Westfield and Stratford Shopping centres are also within easy reach. There are great leisure facilities and green spaces, with Jubilee Pond and Wanstead Heath immediately across the road, while Leytonstone
and Atherton leisure centres are also easily accessible.

Trading Places Estate and Letting Agents
Live-in local estate agents in Leytonstone 

As a husband and wife team with over 50 years' collective experience in property sales and lettings, we've been your local estate agents since the late nineties.

In 2021, during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic and its many challenges, we decided to give our team a boost, a bright new future, something to look forward to... and it was also about time Trading Places got a fresh look too, one to reflect the wonderful and vibrant local community we love so much.

Over the past two decades we've grown and evolved as people and as a business and watched the fantastic neighbourhood we live and work in do the same. So, while our core values and exceptional service standards will never change, we really hope you like our brand new look.

We're able to combine our passion for property and our deep affection for the area to help people find their next happy home. And with a fantastic mix of distinctive Edwardian and Victorian properties, charming cottages full of character, snug terraced houses and smart, modern flats, this beautiful London suburb really does have something for everyone - you just need the right support to help you find it!

Whether you're looking for a quiet and cosy home to really settle in, or a vibrant pad in the heart of the 'hubub', our local estate agents know every part of Leytonstone and the surrounding hidden gems of East London... and we promise that we'll always offer you 100% honest advice.

Family Run and Community-Centric

There are lots of estate agents to choose from, so how do you decide which one to trust with your property sale, letting or your search for a new home?

We both hail from several generations of east-enders, went to school in London E11, and Jen was born in Whipps Cross hospital - so we have deep roots in the local area. Our supporting team (who are family and friends, not just colleagues and staff) are also locally connected, giving us the unique ability to provide a level of customer service and local knowledge quite unlike any other.

We feel genuinely privileged to live, work and play in Leytonstone, and our work has allowed us to explore many beautiful period houses with their stunning architecture and features, alongside more contemporary properties and developments that have sprung up over the years.

Having rented and bought our own first properties here, we've grown along with the area, playing an active role in the community for two decades and getting to know the best places to eat, drink, shop, walk, learn, socialise, exercise and relax. We currently live near Hollow Ponds, part of Epping Forest, and highly recommend a stroll around the lake or an hour boating in the warmer weather!

The real difference at Trading Places is that once our working day is done, we don't head home to another community - because our home is where our heart is and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Experienced, accredited and award winning

While we focus very much on a friendly and people-first approach, we take our responsibilities as estate and letting agents very seriously.

During our time here, we've helped thousands of satisfied clients move home, waving off those who leave for pastures new, while welcoming others into our wonderful community - we've even sold many homes several times over, seeing them change through the years.

We're also accredited and registered:

  • The Guild's member for E11
  • The Property Ombudsman
  • Propertymark ARLA
  • Propertymark NAEA
  • SafeAgent

And have won multiple awards too:

  • The Best Estate Agents Guide
  • AllAgents
  • The British Property Awards
  • Three Best Rated Agent
  • Agent Tracker (no longer operating)

We think all good relationships start with a friendly chat, so why not get in touch and let us know what you're looking for - we're completely confident that our local estate agents can help.
