Set within the sought-after Aldersbrook enclave, this Edwardian mid-terrace blends period character with family-ready proportions. High ceilings, bay windows and an ornate fireplace lend charm across generous living spaces, while a large kitchen-diner opens onto a thoughtfully zoned rear garden ideal for children and outdoor dining.
The house provides three bedrooms (two with fitted wardrobes), a family bathroom and a useful cellar for storage or conversion (subject to consents). The property is freehold and of substantial internal size, offering potential to extend or reconfigure—many neighbouring homes have added loft or rear extensions and off-street parking (subject to planning).
Buyers should note some practical upgrade needs: the property has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, glass is double glazed but installation date is unknown, and heating currently relies on room heaters and smokeless fuel. These factors mean modernisation works will be required to improve energy efficiency and heating comfort.
This location suits families attracted to excellent local schools (including an Outstanding primary and a Good secondary), easy access to green spaces such as Wanstead Flats, and good transport links via Manor Park (Elizabeth Line) or Wanstead (Central Line). For those looking to add value through sympathetic updating, the house offers clear development upside in a desirable, affluent neighbourhood.
