2 bedroom maisonette

Set in the heart of Bushwood’s thriving community of independent businesses mere minutes from Wanstead Flats, this two-story, two-bedroom maisonette is ready to move into and also offers fast access to the A12 and Leytonstone Underground.

You’ll discover this bright yet cosy apartment set within communal grounds in a private gated development adjoining the ever-popular High Road, which is thronged with shops, eateries, and pubs. It sits behind a screening wall – just follow the paved pathway along to find a sunny front courtyard with planting areas enclosed by low fencing.

Stepping into a hallway lined with light laminate flooring and white walls that continue throughout, turn right into a good-sized living and dining area illuminated by bright bulbs to the coved ceiling and glazed double doors and windows opening directly onto the decking outside.

Parquet-style flooring distinguishes the kitchen area, which features wall and base cabinetry with contrasting black worktops and a white-tiled splashback. There’s an integrated oven with a gas hob and extractor hood, plus space for a laundry appliance under the sink and an alcove for a freestanding fridge-freezer. A convenient two-piece cloakroom lies just beyond. You'll also find a door here to a cloakroom.

Return to the hallway, where a staircase leads to the first floor. The fitted cream carpet extends from the stairs across the landing into two front-facing double bedrooms, brightened by large windows. The primary double also features a lovely vaulted ceiling.

At the end of the landing is a fully tiled bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, a pedestal basin, and a close-coupled loo.

IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Bushwood has a wonderful mix of long-term residents and newer arrivals, who are quickly welcomed into its vibrant community.

Just a minute’s walk from High Road, with its cluster of local favourite hangouts, you'll never be short of places to wine and dine. Some top spots include The Birds and The Red Lion pubs, Wild Goose Bakery (we recommend the carrot cake), as well as Bushwood's excellent local tavern, The North Star.

Don't forget to try Singburi – an outstanding Thai restaurant – Panda Dim Sum, Mora Italian restaurant and Bocca for authentic Neapolitan pizza. The current owners also recommend Red Camel and Marrakech Delight for their respective Afghan and Moroccan cuisine, La Rioja for tapas, and frequenting the local library.

In addition, Colts Yard lies close to Wanstead's bars and restaurants (stop by Provender and Bombetta) and Forest Gate (check out Arch Rivals, Burgess & Hall and The Wanstead Tap).

Just to the east, you can explore Wanstead Flats, with Henry Reynolds Gardens just a few minutes by foot. The Olympic Park and Hackney Wick also offer many family-friendly activities and major retail shopping opportunities.

Leytonstone Tube (Central Line) is around a 5-minute walk, with Overground services reachable in just over 10 minutes.
