IF YOU LIVED HERE…

The exterior presents a classic period façade, its warm brickwork and bay window lending elegance and appeal, while soft planting frames the approach to create a welcoming first impression. Stepping inside, the internal porch leads into a bright hallway where natural wood flooring pairs with a painted balustrade. Under-stairs storage adds useful function, while the sense of space guides you naturally towards the living areas.
At the front, the reception room is bathed in daylight from the shuttered bay window. A fireplace provides a touch of character, with rich-toned flooring and tall ceilings enhancing the inviting feel. Further along, a utility room doubles as a guest WC, with wooden flooring and fitted surfaces adding a homely touch.
Light fills the kitchen/diner, a wonderfully sociable space where a trio of skylights and wide bifolding doors draw the garden in. A central island creates a natural gathering point, while the dining area enjoys its own overhead skylight. From here, doors open directly onto the paved terrace, with the garden stretching beyond in a mix of lawn, mature greenery, and space for planting, play and outdoor dining.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are served by a bright bathroom finished with metro tiling, patterned flooring and a bath with overhead shower. The main bedroom feels generous and airy, complemented by its own ensuite for added comfort. Two further bedrooms are well proportioned, filled with light and versatile in use. Rising to the loft, the top floor opens into a substantial bedroom retreat with windows and skylights maximising the daylight. Clever eaves storage keeps the space functional, while the ensuite is a highlight, with a freestanding clawfoot bath, walk-in shower and elegant panelled walls, creating a private sanctuary.
Set within Upper Leytonstone, the location balances a village-like feel with excellent connections. Nearby you’ll find a variety of excellent coffee shops and local pubs, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxed evening out. Just a couple of minutes away, Out of the Woods serves expertly crafted coffee in a cosy setting, while Bocca Bocca brings wood-fired pizza and a lively atmosphere within easy reach. The Red Lion, a much-loved local, offers a welcoming spot for food, drink and music, and the wide green expanse of Hollow Pond and Leyton Flats opens onto the edge of Epping Forest for weekend walks, picnics or boating on the water.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

Living in Wadley Road has been an absolute joy we have loved being here, the road has a really strong community to it and has a well run WhatsApp group started during lockdown that users regularly communicate with each other on various topics from street BBQs to watering the planters. Our boys regularly play out in the street with other children from the road and there are at least 4/5 families with young kids in the street. At Halloween and Christmas Wadley Road is well known in the community for its decorations and celebrations, and having the newly opened café at the end of the road is such a wonderful addition for fresh coffee, sourdough and weekend pastries. The additions recently of the Aldi and gigantic M&S foodhall have made a big difference. We now have three large supermarkets to choose from. New restaurants, bars and coffee shops are opening up regularly. The Schools in the area are fantastic and our boys have loved and still love being at Gwyn Jones which is in the next road to us. However as our three lively boys are growing up we have begun to realise that they need a little more space hence our decision to move. We have also chosen a school out of borough in order to meet our eldest’s needs. We are really happy with how we have renovated the house and we have used the same builder for all our work who is a good friend and would be happy for us to share his details for any future work.”
