Woodlands Avenue, Wanstead

Petty Son & Prestwich present to market this elegant four-bedroom Edwardian family home, enviably positioned enjoying direct access via a private gate, and views over, the stunning Wanstead Park.

Nestled on the highly sought-after Woodlands Avenue in the Aldersbrook Estate, renowned for its strong community feel, tree-lined avenues and excellent schooling, this elegant Edwardian home is brimming with character and period charm, while offering generous proportions ideal for modern family living.

Set just 0.3 miles from the Ofsted-rated Outstanding Aldersbrook Primary School, the property is perfectly located for families. The open green expanses of Wanstead Flats sit just at the end of the road, providing scenic walking and cycling routes towards Forest Gate and Leytonstone. And, for those commuting into town, Manor Park Station (Elizabeth Line) is just a few minutes away by bus, getting you to Tottenham Court Road in under 20 minutes. A truly special feature of this home is its unique rear aspect, backing directly onto the ancient woodland and ornamental lakes of Wanstead Park. With its own private gate offering year-round access to this historic green space, you'll enjoy a rare blend of suburban tranquillity and city connectivity.

A striking example of Edwardian architecture, this substantial four-bedroom family home immediately impresses on approach, with its elegant double-height bay window inset with wooden double-glazed casement windows, bespoke café style shutters, crisp white frontage and charming original front door sheltered by a traditional canopy porch. Once inside, the sense of grandeur continues. A wealth of period features including original panelled doors, ceiling roses, high ceilings, period-style radiators, fireplaces and picture rails, create a warm yet refined atmosphere that celebrates the home’s heritage while offering all the comforts of modern family living.

To the front of the property, a spacious formal lounge serves as a superb reception room, centred around a striking fireplace that anchors the space beautifully. A convenient guest W.C. is located just off the hallway, ideal for everyday practicality. To the rear, the home opens up into a show-stopping kitchen/dining/family room - thoughtfully extended and designed to preserve a sense of separate zones, the original dining room has been seamlessly blended with the rear extension via wide openings that maintain architectural definition. The extension has an added benefit of a living roof, which improves insulation, enhances biodiversity and improves air quality.

Easily accommodating a generous dining table, the dining room blends with the relaxed seating area in the extension, with plenty of room left to define the layout to your taste. The impressive run of bespoke shaker-style kitchen units stretches a full 25 feet along the flank wall, perfectly complemented by a large peninsula island with matching composite worktops. This kitchen is a dream for any serious home cook, with ample storage, a range oven, integrated fridge-freezer, integrated microwave, dishwasher, and a dedicated utility cupboard which are all bathed in natural light thanks to a stunning sky lantern and expansive sliding doors that frame picturesque views over the landscaped garden. Completing this level is a handy cellar, ideal for storage.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-appointed bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles, with the third a stylish single, currently arranged as a music room/home office, complete with bespoke inbuilt storage. A beautifully finished family bathroom serves this level, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. A bespoke staircase, crafted to match the original banister detailing, leads you to the second floor where the principal bedroom suite awaits - enjoying far-reaching, uninterrupted views over Wanstead Park with similarly impressive outlooks enjoyed from the rear-facing bedrooms below. The principal suite benefits from a convenient en-suite shower room, cleverly designed fitted wardrobes, and eaves storage.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden is a real highlight. A generous paved terrace leads down to a well-maintained lawn, bordered by mature planting, with an ornamental fishpond adding a touch of serenity. To the rear, a discreet gravelled seating area offers a peaceful retreat, with a well-screened garage providing both storage and potential. A gate from the rear boundary fence gives direct access to the glorious grounds of Wanstead Park, emerging opposite the picturesque Shoulder of Mutton Pond - perfect for morning walks, evening runs, or weekend adventures with the family.
