A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We moved to Wanstead 12 years ago from Islington and fell in love with the village and the amazing Wanstead Park, the best kept secret in London we think! When we moved to Woodlands Avenue our daughter Martha was 6 months old and it has been the perfect house to raise a child with the space in the house and the garden big enough for her to play and to be able to hide the trampoline! The local community and school are incredible and we will be very sad to leave the many friends we have made here although many will be life long friends. We have always said that Aldersbrook attracts a likeminded group of people who have been attracted to the green space but also the proximity to the city which means that you get a diverse group of people but with common interests and values. Aldersbrook School has been the best start in life for our daughter with the teaching and extra curricular activities living up to the 'Outstanding' rating. The head mistress is first rate and all of the teaching staff incredible. They even got Jason Donovan in to see goodbye to the previous Head Teacher and do a flashmob! With our second child there has been a great new mums network with lots of options for clubs and girls lunches... As an active couple the park has been amazing for walks with the dog and feeling like you're in the countryside. It's incredible that you can run from the end of the road all the way to Epping in the Forest without going on any roads! Wanstead village has become nicer and nicer as the years have gone by with new cafe's and restaurants and because of the location of the house access to Leytonstone and Forest Gate gives access to a different set of pubs and restaurants with a different feel to them. All in all our 9 years at Woodlands Avenue have been incredible, raising now two children, being a part of the community and having access to all of the restorative green space. We will miss it greatly but know the next owners will love it as much as we do."
