Set in sought-after Wanstead, this five-bedroom semi-detached home balances period character with a contemporary extension and open-plan family living. The ground floor flows from a modern fitted kitchen with island to a decked rear garden via bi-fold doors — a layout well suited to family meals and summer entertaining. A separate living room and handy downstairs WC add everyday practicality.
Three bedrooms occupy the first floor with a contemporary family bathroom; two further rooms sit on the top floor with a dual-access en suite — useful for guests, teens or a work-from-home setup. Underfloor heating on the ground floor and in the bathrooms adds comfort, while integrated appliances keep the kitchen tidy and efficient.
Practical considerations: the house was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so there may be opportunities and costs to improve thermal efficiency. The area records above-average crime levels, which some buyers will wish to investigate further. Council tax is moderate and the property is freehold.
Well positioned for Wanstead High Street, local green spaces and strong Central Line links at Wanstead and Snaresbrook, this home suits growing families seeking generous space and flexible layouts. The property is well maintained and ready to occupy, while also offering scope for targeted upgrades to boost comfort and energy performance.
