Chain free four-bedroom freehold on a large 45m rear garden plot
Set on an unusually large plot in sought-after Wanstead, this four-bedroom freehold property is a genuine redevelopment opportunity. The rear garden extends approximately 45 metres, providing scope for substantial extension, landscaping or a new-build replacement (subject to planning). Off-street parking for several cars plus a garage add useful convenience for family life or a multi-occupancy scheme. The house is offered chain free and sits a short walk from Wanstead High Street and the Central Line for fast central London access.
The house has attractive mock-Tudor frontage and period features such as stained glass and bay windows, which could be restored or retained to add character to a refurbished scheme. Internally the layout includes two reception rooms, a conservatory, a ground-floor WC, four bedrooms upstairs, a bathroom and a separate WC. The overall footprint and plot width make loft or rear extensions plausible options (subject to consents).
Material points to note: the property requires full renovation and modernisation throughout. It is a solid-brick build from the mid-20th century and likely lacks modern insulation; heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. There is only one full bathroom plus a separate WC. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the local crime level is above average—factors to consider for owner-occupiers or tenants. Buyers should allow for typical refurbishment costs and investigate planning potential and any structural or services surveys before purchase.
For investors or developers this plot represents a rare East London land-led prospect close to excellent schools, green spaces and transport. For a family wanting a long-term project, the location combines village-like amenities with easy city access. Either way, this is a substantial blank canvas in a high-demand postcode, priced for value-add work.
