A stone's throw from Wanstead Park with its beautiful ornamental lakes and scenery (0.1 Miles), this stunning four bedroom Edwardian home offers a buyer the chance to live in both a tranquil and picturesque location without sacrificing good transport links into London. The close proximity to Aldersbrook Primary School (0.5 Miles, OFSTED rated outstanding) makes it the perfect location for young families, and with Manor Park station under a mile away (0.8 Miles) there is fantastic access to the City with the Elizabeth Line. There are also great transport links from Alderbrook Road, with plenty of bus routes offering regular, convenient access to a range of areas in addition to a designated cycle highway.
Built Circa 1902, the home has been meticulously extended and renovated, with a pristine façade, cottage garden and double height bay inset with stunning, double glazed sash windows greeting you on arrival. The neatly tiled mosaic pathway echoes what would have originally been found when the home was built and continues into the home's stunning entrance hall, leading you through to the first of the reception rooms; a grand room with a central gas fireplace forming the centrepiece, high skirtings and original mouldings with plantation shutters delivering privacy and durable, engineered oak flooring underfoot.
Re-designed in 2021 and forming the centre of the ground floor accommodation, the contemporary kitchen/breakfast room truly is the heart of the home. Units stretch full ceiling height providing ample storage with a peninsular breakfast bar adding to the storage whilst providing seating, and options for casual dining. Not only does the design make the most of the space on offer but it also provides space for the washer and drier with a hanging/airing space for clothes. Additional features include USB plug sockets, fully ducted extractor, integrated induction hob, double oven and microwave and space for an American style fridge/freezer, large wine fridge and dishwasher.
Underfloor heating runs from the kitchen through to the second reception (both of which can be zoned by a Hive thermostat)– an exceedingly bright room thanks to the three large skylights (with remotely/automatically controlled fitted blinds) and bi-fold doors. At one end of the room a bespoke media unit elegantly houses the rooms television, neatly hiding unsightly wiring, whilst a remote controlled, gas 'Dru' panoramic fire beneath forms a natural centrepiece. The external sandstone patio sits flush with the internal floor, allowing the space to seamlessly flow as one when the doors are opened. There is also access to a handy cellar from the ground floor.
To the first floor there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both with original fireplaces and a smaller third bedroom which is currently fully fitted to be used as a dressing room. The modern family bathroom offers a bath with shower overhead and electric under floor heating. The stairway leading to the second floor has been designed to mirror the original, with a skylight overhead providing natural light and featuring an automated Velux blind. The second floor provides either a principal bedroom or guest suite with modern, en-suite wet room and additional eves storage which runs the width of the house. To the rear there is a landscaped garden designed to be striking yet low maintenance and providing four distinct zones; a patio area to relax and entertain on, leading to a central lawn bordered by a raised bed, ornamental gravel area to the rear leads to a garden studio fitted with both heating and power – the perfect home office. There is gated, rear access to the property leading to Arron Drive – perfect for bikes and easy removal of garden waste.

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!
