Harpenden Road, Aldersbrook

In the super-sought-after Aldersbrook Conservation Area, Petty Son & Prestwich are pleased to offer this Edwardian family home enjoying many period features and a charming South/Easterly garden.

A perfect mix of period charm and modern-day comfort, this house has serious curb appeal and is just moments walk from the Ofsted rated outstanding Aldersbrook Primary School that lies on the adjacent road. With Wanstead Park right on your doorstep offering gorgeous woodlands and peaceful lakes, there’s ample opportunity to get outside and enjoy your surroundings throughout the year. Head the other way and you’ve got great bus links from Aldersbrook Road and the vast green spaces of Wanstead Flats — ideal for morning jogs, dog walks, or lazy picnics.

Starting with a porch, perfect for kicking off muddy boots, parking scooters, or hanging up the dog lead, and an eye-catching double-height bay that sets the tone for what’s inside. To the ground floor you’re greeted by original exposed wooden floorboards, elegant plasterwork overhead, deep cornicing, picture rails, and high skirting – period details that are echoed throughout the home. Two reception rooms give you the flexibility to live, work, and entertain; the front room is bathed in light from that stunning bay window and features bespoke alcove cabinetry and a striking fireplace with rich red tiling and classic wood surround. The rear reception stretches deep and opens onto a handy extension with French doors providing a space for a formal dining room, playroom, or creative studio overlooking the southerly garden. The kitchen runs galley-style, lined with units on both sides for heaps of worktop space, storage, and room for all your appliances – with direct access out to the garden for easy alfresco living. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms – each with their own fireplace and full of character.

The main bedroom is a true standout: it spans the full width of the house with a gorgeous bay, built-in storage, and even space for a work-from-home setup. A smart, contemporary bathroom with a shower-over-bath and white suite completes this floor. The loft is ready and primed for storage and is boarded with a convenient pull down ladder, also offering exciting potential for future extension (STPP).

Outside, the private south-easterly garden is full of mature trees, flowering plants, and a generous lawn, allowing you to enjoy long summer afternoons in the sun and space to the rear to extend further (STPP).
