Equidistant from Forest Gate Station and the Elizabeth Line and Wanstead flats (0.5 Miles), one of the largest
expanses of common land in London spanning approximately 334 Acres, Claremont Road is perfectly positioned to enjoy City living without compromising on those that wish to enjoy an outdoors lifestyle. Nurseries, Primary and Secondary Schools are also close by, Kaye Row Nursery (0.4 miles), Forest Gate Community School (0.6 miles), Woodgrange Infant School (0.4 Miles) and Godwin Junior School (0.6 Miles). Woodgrange Road shops, bars and restaurants are also a short 0.4 Miles on foot. Bordered by grand period homes with deep frontages, Claremont Road is an attractive tree-lined street in the Forest Gate Woodgrange Conservation Area. This period home has been lovingly restored by the current owners who have inhabited the property for over 20 years, with scope still to further extend the property to the rear and into the roof (STPC).
The property starts with a restored front wall and mosaic pathway, planted on either side with a mix of shrubs and trees, leading you towards a striking exposed, double bayed brick façade. There is a secure wooden bike store and hard standing for the necessary bins and recycling boxes to the front, as with everything in this home, everything has its place. Internally the attention to detail and authenticity to the period of the home is immediately apparent. Light, airy rooms with high ceilings, exposed floorboards, cast iron radiators with brass detailing and bespoke, hand-made carpentry feature throughout the home. The large, dual aspect reception room spanning approximately 24ft 11 in length provides direct access through original double doors, to the charming rear garden, with a striking marble fireplace housing a modern wood-burner providing the much needed cosiness during the winter months. The opposite side of the home houses the home's enviable, hand-built shaker style kitchen, complete with solid marble worktops, splashbacks and solid brass cabinetry. As with the living room, the room is dual aspect and benefits from natural light throughout the day, with a woodburner creating a cosy atmosphere towards the dining and seating area of the room. There is also a handy downstairs W.C and large cellar accessible from the beautifully restored hallway.
To the first floor there are four bedrooms, three doubles and a large single, with the two largest bedrooms enjoying bespoke cabinetry and beautiful, original fireplaces. All rooms enjoy exposed floor boards, deep skirting and cornicing, with original sash windows in all rooms to the front and replacement, wooden sash windows to the rear on the first floor. The family bathroom has been designed to comfortably house a cast Iron, free-standing, rolltop bath, walk-in shower and period bathroom suite with a honed carrara marble tiled floor and plenty of natural light from two sash windows. There is further potential to extend into the boarded loft if desired (STPC).
To the rear the South facing rear garden has been designed to provide ample patio space, including a mosaic-tiled area extending directly from the rear of the house covered by an ornate, cast iron veranda, joining to a more modern paved area. A central lawn surrounded by shingled patio area, flower beds and raised deck lead to two large outbuildings and a separate storage shed including covered wood store. Both the office and studio are a good size and serviced by mains power. There is potential to extend to the rear of the home to create further living accommodation on the ground floor if desired (STPC).

About this agent
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. Our continued success stems from reputation and recommendation and through this, and good old fashioned hard work, it has allowed us to expand and open a branch in the heart of Buckhurst Hill. Mirroring the company’s ethos to work collectively, our Buckhurst Hill office provide the same tailor-made services to all our clients, both new and established. Situated at the top of Queens Road, the team offer the independent and reliable advice that has been our hallmark in Wanstead for so many decades past. Our current team, who between them boast a combined experience of more than 150 years, offer a wide-range of competitive services that include sales, lettings, property management, financial services, refurbishment and development as well as our established survey department. We are proud to maintain an expansive and thorough knowledge of the market and with the opening of our Buckhurst Hill branch we are able to offer our bespoke service from the exciting, emerging London areas of Forest Gate, Leytonstone and the ever-popular Wanstead, through to the heart of Epping Forest to such areas as stylish Loughton and the picturesque Theydon Bois. We firmly believe that with our expertise and passion combined with the old-fashioned values of reliability, trustworthiness and commitment, we can continue to deliver to our clients across east London and west Essex an unparalleled service into the next century!
