New Wanstead, Snaresbrook

This well-proportioned three-bedroom apartment sits on the third floor of a purpose-built block in a fantastic spot near charming Wanstead. Inside, you’ll find two good sized double bedrooms and a third smaller bedroom, perfect as a home office or nursery, a separate reception room and kitchen, plus a good-sized bathroom with an over-tub shower.

There’s access to communal gardens, and Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest are just a short stroll away for even more green space. You’re close to independent stores, cafes and restaurants, while the stations for both Snaresbrook and Wanstead are around ten minutes away, putting the city within easy reach via the Central line.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You’ll love the sense of space this generous home provides. With roomy proportions throughout, there’s plenty of potential to create your dream home. The separate kitchen and reception room are a great starting point — the kitchen is bright and modern, while the living room opens onto a private balcony, expanding your entertaining space.

The three bedrooms are well balanced, with the third ideal as a home office, guest room or nursery. The bathroom is full of character, with timber accents, floor-to-ceiling tiling and an over-tub shower.

Step outside and you’re a short stroll from the village-esque charms of Wanstead. With horse riding, farmer’s markets, leafy parks and friendly pubs all on your doorstep, it’s easy to forget you’re just 17 minutes from central London by tube — and the station is only 10 minutes away on foot.

If you’re staying local, La Bakerie is a go-to for coffee and pastries, while the brilliant Provender Restaurant and Cardamom Room are ideal for a special evening out. Fancy staying in? Tiffin Tin’s Indian takeaway is a local legend, and Luppolo’s pizzas are always a hit.

Green space is all around — head south to Wanstead Flats, a beloved open space with rich local history, or north to Hollow Ponds in Epping Forest, where you can even rent a rowing boat in the warmer months.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"Being a country girl at heart, for me Wanstead is the perfect blend of village/city living. With excellent transport links into the city, I often meet up with friends to explore the wonders of London. But I also enjoy going for long, leafy walks with Hollow Ponds and Wanstead Park on my doorstep. I was first attracted to Wanstead by its charming High Street, lush green spaces and choice of excellent schools. Since moving here, I have discovered some new favourites — for breakfast La Bakerie, lunch at Otto and The Duke for thebest roast around. I love to stay active, and here in Wanstead you have lots to choose from. From organised yoga at Christ Church Green, personal training sessions at Target Fit or jogging around the various nature trails of Epping Forest. There is a great sense of community here in Wanstead, with informative Facebook groups, street parties, a monthly farmers’ market and the local jumble trail. I have made many friends locally, there is a genuine community spirit here and I am proud to call Wanstead my home."
