Description

Petty Son & Prestwich are delighted to offer for sale this charming three-bedroom semi-detached 1930s family home, ideally positioned within the highly sought-after and family-friendly Nightingale Estate.

Perfectly located, Wanstead High Street is just 0.6 miles away and offers a vibrant mix of independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and a wonderful sense of community. The property is exceptionally well connected, with both Wanstead (0.7miles) and Snaresbrook Central Line stations (0.7miles) providing convenient access into Central London. The area is also well served by local bus routes and is within close proximity to the highly regarded Nightingale Primary School, just 0.2 miles away.

This attractive 1930s home boasts two beautiful bay windows, a shared driveway, and a garage. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a practical porch area leading into a bright front reception room featuring a large bay window.

To the rear, an extended second reception room enjoys large windows overlooking the garden, creating a wonderful family and entertaining space filled with natural light. The galley kitchen leads through to the second part of the extension, where a highly practical utility room neatly houses white goods and additional storage. A downstairs toilet completes the accomodation on the ground floor.

The ground floor offers enormous potential for further enhancement, including the possibility of creating an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room or extending further to the rear, subject to the usual planning permissions (STPP). Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles, alongside a shower room.

While the property would benefit from some modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for buyers to create a truly stunning long-term family home. The spacious loft also offers excellent potential for conversion and enlargement into a substantial principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, subject to planning permission (STPP).

The rear garden is immaculately maintained and provides a peaceful green oasis. A pathway leads to the garage, currently used as excellent storage space, alongside a secluded seating area framed by mature planting and climbing greenery, creating a wonderfully shaded retreat. There is also a well-kept lawn and additional patio space, all beautifully enclosed by attractive shrubs and plants that enhance the sense of privacy and tranquillity.

Offered chain free, this is an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to move quickly into a home with exceptional potential in one of Wanstead’s most desirable locations.

For well over a century Petty Son and Prestwich has had a long and successful history in Wanstead and the surrounding area. The firm was founded in Leytonstone in 1908 by C. Petty, a locally renowned builder, under the style of Petty & Son. The company was then run by his son Charles, a chartered surveyor.

Petty and Son quickly grew in both size and reputation and was soon to become Petty Son & Prestwich when Harry Prestwich entered the partnership, offering services in surveying, estate agency and auctioneering. The Wanstead Office was opened in 1912.
