Description

Petty Son & Prestwich are delighted to offer this charming Victorian cottage in the heart of Wanstead Village, offering two double bedrooms, West facing garden and beautiful presentation throughout.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Wanstead Village, this immaculately presented home enjoys a prime spot on the ever-popular Cowley Road, just 0.2 miles from Wanstead’s vibrant High Street with its array of independent shops, cafés, and eateries.

Ideally located for commuters, the property is flanked by both Wanstead and Snaresbrook Central Line stations, offering swift access into the City and West End. This is a home that truly caters to families, couples, and professionals alike, with a selection of highly regarded local schools all within easy walking distance, including Wanstead Church School (0.2 miles), Nightingale Primary (0.5 miles), and both Our Lady of Lourdes and Snaresbrook Primary (0.6 miles).

Beyond its chocolate-box façade, featuring a striking exposed brick exterior, sash windows, herringbone path, and a charming white picket fence, the home has been beautifully styled throughout. Inside, you'll find an elegant blend of period charm and thoughtful modern touches: original features, plantation shutters, bespoke traditional cabinetry, and reproduction school-style radiators create a warm, character-filled atmosphere.

The ground floor boasts two well-proportioned reception rooms, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, with the dining room opening directly onto the sunny West-facing garden. At the rear, the kitchen is sleek and well-appointed with ample storage and integrated appliances, with further potential to extend (STPP), should you wish to add more space.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with two generous double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom, complete with freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower, plank-effect porcelain tiles, and classic metro tiling.

The landscaped rear garden is a true retreat. West facing to soak up the sun well into the evening, it features a smart patio, lawn, and mature planted borders, creating a peaceful, private outdoor space. Offered to the market chain-free, this is an ideal opportunity to secure a turnkey home in one of East London’s most desirable village neighbourhoods.

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1Industry affiliation logo 2

For well over a century Petty Son and Prestwich has had a long and successful history in Wanstead and the surrounding area. The firm was founded in Leytonstone in 1908 by C. Petty, a locally renowned builder, under the style of Petty & Son. The company was then run by his son Charles, a chartered surveyor.

Petty and Son quickly grew in both size and reputation and was soon to become Petty Son & Prestwich when Harry Prestwich entered the partnership, offering services in surveying, estate agency and auctioneering. The Wanstead Office was opened in 1912.

Our continued success stems from reputation and recommendation and through this, and good old fashioned hard work, tailor-made services to all our clients, both new and established.
