Chester Road, Wanstead

A sleek and spacious four bedroom family home, brimming with classic designer style from the open plan kitchen, lounge and conservatory all the way up to the second storey loft suite. It's all just moments from Wanstead station and High Street.

A bustling East London village that's long been a firm favorite for families and City commuters alike, Wanstead is the ideal blend of open greenery, speedy transport links and lively nightlife.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

This house offers bags of potential, with some of its original Victorian charm still intact. Glossy dark hardwood flows underfoot. Bistro shutters sit on the box bay window and there's a handy mix of bespoke open shelving and storage either side of the chimney breast. A pristine white paintjob and the high ceilings of the period artfully amplify the sense of space.

Your 375 square foot kitchen/reception is bathed in floods of natural illumination from the virtually seamless conservatory at the rear. The kitchen area is zoned by a dark quartz effect breakfast bar, and consists of twin flanks of rich timber cabinets top and bottom. Those oversize conservatory windows frame views of your garden, a lengthy mix of patio and lawn just waiting for some landscaped inspiration.

A utility room and handy spare WC complete the ground floor, while upstairs you have four double bedrooms ranging from eighty to 170 square feet, all handsomely appointed. Your family bathroom sits to the rear with dedicated rainfall shower, tub and twin vessel sinks. Your spacious loft suite finishes things off in style, dual aspect between twin skylights and sliding doors giving onto a Juliet balcony. The adjacent en suite offers shower, tub, twin vessel sinks and elegantly distressed granite tilework from floor to ceiling.

Outside, and Wanstead tube station is just seven minutes on foot for the Central line and direct sixteen minute runs to Liverpool Street, putting the City well within a half hour door to door. If you're heading to the West End Tottenham Court Road is just nine minutes further. There's no shortage of local attractions either. Wanstead High Street starts just beyond the station and is home to an ever increasing array of independent cafes, stores and gastropubs. Try former coaching inn The Cuckfield or the salubrious surroundings of The Bull for delicious Sunday Roasts.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"Being a country girl at heart, for me Wanstead is the perfect blend of village/city living. With excellent transport links into the city, I often meet up with friends to explore the wonders of London. But I also enjoy going for long, leafy walks with Hollow Ponds and Wanstead Park on my doorstep.
I was first attracted to Wanstead by its charming High Street, lush green spaces and choice of excellent schools. Since moving here, I have discovered some new favourites — for breakfast La Bakerie, lunch at Otto and The Duke for the best roast around.
I love to stay active, and here in Wanstead you have lots to choose from. From organised yoga at Christ Church Green, personal training sessions at Target Fit or jogging around the various nature trails of Epping Forest.
There is a great sense of community here in Wanstead, with informative Facebook groups, street parties, a monthly farmers’ market and the local jumble trail. I have made many friends locally, there is a genuine community spirit here and I am proud to call Wanstead my home."
