A rare and exciting opportunity to market, this charming 1930s semi-detached residence is offered with a substantial parcel of land to the side (held on a separate title) which has already been granted planning permission for the construction of a striking five-bedroom detached home.

Positioned within the highly sought-after Counties Estate in Wanstead, Buckingham Road takes its name from the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This prestigious address forms part of an exclusive collection of elegant homes set within a charming leafy conservation area, where beautifully preserved Edwardian architecture and picturesque tree-lined avenues create one of Wanstead’s most desirable residential settings.

Wonderfully peaceful yet exceptionally well connected, this particular home enjoys a prime position within easy reach of Wanstead Station (0.5 miles) and Snaresbrook Station (0.7 miles), offering swift and convenient access into Central London. The property is also ideally placed for a superb selection of highly regarded local schools and nurseries. Within close proximity are Nightingale Primary School and The Grove Montessori Nursery (both 0.5 miles away), along with Wanstead Church School (around 0.6 miles) - Each is recognised by Ofsted with ratings of Good or Outstanding, making the area particularly appealing for families seeking exceptional educational options.

The existing three-bedroom semi-detached property would benefit from modernisation, yet presents an outstanding canvas for enhancement. Subject to the usual consents (STPP), there is clear potential to extend to the rear and convert the loft, significantly increasing the living accommodation while maximising the property’s uninterrupted views over open fields to the rear.

Internally the home follows the classic layout typical of this era. The ground floor offers two generous reception rooms, a kitchen and a convenient ground floor W.C., while the first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing excellent foundations for a thoughtful renovation.

A defining feature of this offering is the impressive side plot, currently accommodating a substantial driveway and garden space. The plot benefits from granted planning permission for a substantial detached residence, with the proposed frontage spanning approximately 20 feet, widening to a maximum of around 60 feet and extending to an overall depth of roughly 130 feet. The approved plans envision an exceptional family home comprising five bedrooms (four of which are doubles), alongside three bathrooms, guest W.C., formal reception room, and impressive open-plan family kitchen and living space complete with a separate utility room.

Further details and the approved plans can be viewed via the planning portal of London Borough of Redbridge under the relevant planning reference 0452/25.

Full profileProperty listings
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!
