Queenswood Gardens, Wanstead

Set within a popular residential development, this two-bedroom duplex apartment offers an appealing blend of space and comfort. A bright, dual-aspect reception forms the inviting centre of the home, balanced by a pair of well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across two levels. The newly refurbished bathroom introduces a modern, polished finish, while the overall presentation feels carefully maintained and ready to enjoy. A private garage adds valuable practicality, and the setting places you just moments from the open green expanses of Wanstead Park, offering a rare combination of convenience and tranquillity.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…
Set against stepped brickwork and broad runs of windows, the building presents a clean, modernist profile, the façade marked by a crisp, rhythmic character. Just beyond the entrance, a generous communal garden opens into a wide sweep of lawn edged by mature trees and established planting, offering a peaceful green escape for residents.

Inside, the hallway sets an uplifting first impression, bright and neatly arranged with two useful storage cupboards and an easy sense of flow towards the main living areas. The reception room follows with a welcoming dual aspect, its broad bay window drawing in natural light throughout the day. Warm timber flooring anchors the space, while the arrangement lends itself naturally to dining, relaxing and everyday living.

In the kitchen, the light-filled atmosphere continues, with a large window and pale finishes keeping the room open and fresh. Tiled walls and well-placed cabinetry create a balanced, practical environment, while the overall presentation feels thoughtfully maintained.

Upstairs, the bathroom introduces a richer mood, blending deep green tiling with warm brass accents for a gently luxurious finish. A glossy sweep of tiles frames the bathtub, complemented by a framed shower screen and an overhead rain shower that adds a touch of indulgence. Soft flooring and calm wall tones keep the space bright and soothing.

Both bedrooms feel restful and airy, each with a generous window and comfortable proportions for furnishings. One also features built-in storage that sits neatly within the design. The home is completed by the welcome addition of a private garage, providing secure parking or useful extra storage.

Beyond the property, a rare balance of greenery and local character awaits, with the home set close to both Wanstead Flats and Wanstead Park, giving you immediate access to vast open landscapes, woodland trails and peaceful lakes. This natural setting is complemented by the lively cluster of cafés and creative spots tucked beneath Forest Gate’s railway arches, where places such as Wild Goose Bakery, Joyau and the Wanstead Tap bring an independent spirit to the neighbourhood. Leytonstone High Road adds everyday convenience with its mix of shops, eateries and pubs including The Red Lion, while Wanstead High Street offers boutiques, cafés and a relaxed, village-like atmosphere a short journey the other way.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER.....

"We love the big windows and the amount of light in the flat, and that the living space is arranged over two floors - it makes it feel really spacious. There’s also lots of storage, plus the bonus of a garage. We’ve also enjoyed getting to know our neighbours, and there’s a real sense of community in Queenswood Gardens that we’ll be sorry to leave. The location offers the best of both worlds - the huge green spaces of Wanstead flats and Wanstead park are on the doorstep, perfect for weekend walks, and Leytonstone, Forest Gate and Wanstead are all close by. There are too many great places to eat and drink to name them all, but favourite spots include Tamping Grounds and the Holly Tree in Forest Gate, Forno, the North Star, and Homies on Donkeys in Leytonstone, and Provender in Wanstead."
