IF YOU LIVED HERE...
Step inside and you’re welcomed by a spacious, light-filled through-reception room. At over 23 feet long, it’s a great space for both relaxing and entertaining. Natural light pours in through the front bay window and a second window at the rear, while original features like the fireplace and alcove shelving add warmth and personality. Wooden floors tie everything together beautifully.

The kitchen has already been extended, creating a generous and sociable space that’s flooded with light thanks to skylights and large red-framed windows. The deep green cabinetry and marble-effect worktops add a pop of colour and texture, while checkerboard flooring gives it a playful, practical finish. A built-in bench under the window is a great spot for casual meals or simply taking five. There’s also a large chef’s double oven and gas hob—ideal for anyone who enjoys cooking.

The garden is full of established greenery, with bamboo, a fig tree, and raised beds bringing a sense of calm and privacy. A paved patio near the house leads to a gravelled seating area at the back—perfect for making the most of long summer evenings. A shed keeps things tidy and practical.

Upstairs on the first floor, you’ll find two good-sized double bedrooms. The front room, decorated in a soft pale green, has twin sash windows, a built-in wardrobe and shelving. The rear bedroom overlooks the garden and feels peaceful and bright. The bathroom is thoughtfully finished with pale blue walls, cream panelling, a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. A frosted sash window allows in the light while maintaining privacy.

Head up again to the converted loft and you’ll find two further bedrooms, plus a modern shower room—great for guests, teenagers, or working from home.

This is a well-designed, welcoming home with character in every corner and a layout that’s ready to adapt to your needs from the moment you arrive.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"Being one road back from Wanstead Flats was a major reason for us moving to Cobbold Road, it's been a treat having such a large open space so close to us and our family. Since we've arrived we've seen countless pubs, bars and coffee shops open, with our favourites being Pretty Decent Brewery and Tamping Grounds coffee shop, a stone's throw away on Cann Hall Road. The Dusty Knuckle bread van stops on Cobbold Road every Tuesday between 9.30 and 11.30am. The Rookwood on the end of the road is a great pub for kids, along with the Leytonstone Tavern (great for food) and The Holly Tree covering pretty much everything.
The house is in the catchment for the ofsted outstanding Davis Lane Primary School, with other kids on the street also going to the outstanding Aldersbrook primary. Transport is equally great, with the central line (leytonstone) and Elizabeth Line (Forest Gate) being short walks away. A bus will take you to Wanstead (Ginger Pig butchers, Gails amongst many other shops) in under ten minutes. From the house, you can be in Soho via the Elizabeth Line in around 35 minutes."
