Characterful two-bedroom cottage in Wanstead Village, minutes from shops and stations.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage
A charming Victorian semi-detached cottage set in the heart of Wanstead Village, just a short walk from High Street shops and both Snaresbrook and Wanstead stations. The property retains period features including an ornate fireplace, sash bay window and built-in alcove cabinetry, creating immediate kerb appeal and warm, traditional interiors.
The ground-floor extension provides a bright kitchen/dining room with direct access to a low-maintenance rear garden and large storage shed. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom; the principal bedroom gives loft access for extra storage. The overall layout is compact but well-proportioned, suited to a small family or professional couple.
Practical points to note: the house sits on a relatively small plot and the brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of the build era). Double glazing is already installed but predates 2002. There is scope to create off-road parking to the front, subject to planning permission (STPP). Local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make this a convenient, connected base in a very affluent neighbourhood.
This freehold home offers character and location as its main strengths. Buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in showhome may find updating desirable, while those looking for a characterful family home with potential to personalise will appreciate the balance of period detail and practical living space.
