IF YOU LIVED HERE...IF YOU LIVED HERE…
This attractive period home presents a timeless façade of London stock brick, with red brick detailing and graceful sash windows that highlight its historic character. The black-painted front door and brick-paved path offer a refined introduction, where traditional charm meets understated style.
Inside, the hallway welcomes you with painted panelling, polished floorboards, and gentle light from the glazed entrance. The flow through the ground floor feels effortless, leading into a front reception where a bay window and cast-iron fireplace set a graceful tone, framed by decorative coving and warm timber floors. Beyond, the second reception provides an ideal dining space, perfectly balanced with another fireplace, fitted cabinetry and abundant natural light, making it well-suited for both entertaining and everyday family life.
At the rear, the kitchen sits quietly, brightened by dual-aspect windows and finished with patterned flooring and tiled walls that add a touch of individuality. From here, a door opens onto a garden edged with greenery, a peaceful and sheltered retreat for outdoor dining or a quiet morning coffee.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two generous bedrooms and a beautifully finished bathroom. The principal bedroom spans the width of the home, with twin sash windows and a cast-iron fireplace, while the second bedroom feels equally serene and inviting. The bathroom combines traditional detail with modern flair, featuring a freestanding tub, overhead brushed brass rain shower and bold, characterful design that ties the space together. The loft conversion completes the home with a tranquil double bedroom filled with daylight from twin skylights, an en suite shower room, and an additional room with rooftop views, creating an elevated, flexible space ideal for guests, work or quiet relaxation.
Nestled in a sought-after pocket of East London, this home enjoys easy access to the charm and bustle of Wanstead High Street, where you’ll find an array of independent cafés, boutiques and much-loved eateries such as Bobo & Wild and Luppolo Pizza. The Cuckfield offers a relaxed spot for a drink, while Toby Carvery is just a short stroll away for a traditional Sunday roast. Nature is never far either, as Eagle Pond and the wider expanse of Epping Forest provide miles of woodland trails, lakeside paths and open green space to explore.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER....

"We chose to live in Wanstead because of its excellent transport links, great high street and genuinely welcoming community. The area has so much to offer and people really care about making it a great place to live. For us, the lovely green spaces are what make it such a unique place. Over the years we’ve spent a lot of happy times on Christchurch Green as well as exploring Epping Forest and Wanstead Park, all a short walk away. What we particularly love about the house is that every room has its own special character. We’re incredibly sad to be leaving 83 Halstead Road behind and hope someone else will enjoy living here as much as we have."
