Leicester Road,Wanstead

With an enviable location in the heart of Wanstead, this four-bedroom home strikes a lovely balance between period charm and contemporary convenience, with multiple highlights inside and out, from the living spaces to the secluded rear garden. There are fantastic local schools and plenty of greenery nearby, plus excellent transport links thanks to its proximity to Wanstead station.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Coming in at 1,653 square feet (excluding the cellar), this is a fantastic home to truly spread out in, and the surrounding area is just as appealing. With great schools, plenty of greenery and excellent amenities, it really does have it all.

Your front reception is bright and spacious, with large south-facing bay windows flooding the room with natural light.

From here, you have access to a second reception, which adjoins the spotless kitchen, complete with sleek units and contemporary fittings. To the rear, a further reception is bright and smart, with timber flooring underfoot and direct access to the garden.

Head upstairs to the first floor and you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms, along with both a bathroom and separate WC, ideal for keeping the morning rush running smoothly.

Beyond, venture down your tree-lined street to the village-esque hub of Wanstead and you’ll feel a world away from the bustle of a capital city. With everything from horse riding, farmer’s markets, charming pubs and lush greenery on your doorstep, it’s easy to forget that you're only about short hop on the tube from central London.

If you want to stay local, though, La Bakerie will always be a winner on work from home days, but for a treat, book in for the excellent Provender Restaurant or Alba Trattoria. Takeaway? Tiffin Tin is fantastically popular throughout the whole area, as is Luppolo Pizza.

As for green space, to the south you’ll find Wanstead Park, a much loved community space and landmark of historical importance. Chalet Wood there is particularly popular during bluebell season. To the west you’ve got Epping Forest’s Hollow Ponds, where you can even rent a rowing boat during summer months.
