*SOLD BY PETTY SON AND PRESTWICH* Rarely available, Petty Son & Prestwich are delighted to offer this ground floor, this two double bedroom apartment, moments from Wanstead High Street.

Located at the beginning of Grosvenor Road, The Shrubbery is an iconic Grade II listed development within central Wanstead. Built in 1935 by Cockett, Henderson and Gillow for the North-East Property Company Ltd, the elegant Art-Deco style block is moments from Wanstead High Street (450 feet) and two central Line Stations, yet this particular apartment is set within the central block, enjoying the greatest distance from the road adding the to the peace and tranquillity.

Internally the spacious rooms and large windows give a lovely, light feel inside the apartment, and although the home needs some updating, original, solid wood parquet flooring has been retained and runs throughout the majority of the home - a stunning feature to be retained and treasured. A generous hallway with two storage cupboards leads to a well-proportioned bathroom, fantastic lounge/diner, two double bedrooms with the principal measuring a similar square footage to the main living space, and a well laid out kitchen with direct access to the communal grounds. With extensive external works already paid for and in the process of being completed, the new owner will benefit from a development that has been recently improved upon, in addition to a long lease and no onward chain.

Places of interest

    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!
