The front reception is wonderfully bright thanks to its generous bay windows, which beautifully showcase features such as the ceiling rose and timber floors. Internal glazing allows light to flow through to the kitchen, positioned at the heart of the ground floor. It’s a well-positioned rustic-style space with original details and a classic butler basin.

At the rear, the second reception offers direct access to the secluded garden, surrounded by mature foliage for plenty of privacy.

Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, completing this charming home, where the scope for further design work is exciting - it’s a treat to have so many original features to work around.

Wanstead station is just a 10 minute walk away, providing direct Central line trains that reach the City in around 17 minutes.
