IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Your new home opens with a welcoming hallway where floorboards run throughout, linking each space with a natural flow. A built-in storage cupboard adds practicality, while the finish lends a warm sense of continuity.

At the front, you’ll find the kitchen and reception area combined into a generous open-plan room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A wide bay window allows sunlight to pour in, illuminating the soft tones of the flooring. With ample space for a dining table and comfortable seating, this room offers versatility and ease, bringing together cooking, dining and relaxing in one inviting setting.

Crisp white tiling gives the bathroom a clean, timeless look. A full-sized bath with overhead rain shower makes it as practical as it is appealing, while built-in cabinetry ensures a tidy finish.

One of the bedrooms enjoys glazed double doors that open directly onto a courtyard, creating a light and restful space. The courtyard itself provides a secluded outdoor corner, perfect for morning coffee or a touch of greenery, and is easy to maintain.

To the rear, the main bedroom is a serene retreat, enhanced by high ceilings, whitewashed beams and a skylight that fills the space with daylight. A clever partition introduces a separate dressing or study area, while built-in cabinetry adds plenty of storage. The adjoining ensuite continues the fresh, simple style, complete with walk-in shower and another skylight overhead, ensuring this personal haven remains airy and uplifting.

When it’s time to head out, you’ll find a wealth of choice right on your doorstep. Wanstead Flats unfurls just moments away, a vast stretch of greenery once favoured by royalty and now beloved by joggers, dog walkers and those after a leisurely picnic. A little further on, Winchelsea Road has become a lively hub, with its railway arches transformed into characterful hangouts. Sip small-batch brews at Pretty Decent Beer, savour vibrant flavours at The Wanstead Kitchen or pause for coffee and pastries at Wild Goose Bakery. For your new local, The Wanstead Tap is hard to beat, a bar, bottle shop and cultural venue all rolled into one.
