Spacious four-bedroom family home with west garden and extension potential.
Chain-free freehold 1930s semi-detached family home
This 1930s semi-detached family home in Wanstead offers spacious, characterful living across three floors, with over 1,500 sq ft and a converted loft principal bedroom. The property combines period features — bay windows, fireplace and timber floors — with practical modern upgrades such as double glazing and mains gas central heating. A west-facing private garden and off-street driveway with rear garage add outdoor and parking convenience for family life.
Practical positives include chain-free freehold tenure and potential to extend (STPP) for buyers wanting extra space or value uplift. The layout suits a growing family: multiple reception rooms, four bedrooms and flexible attic accommodation with an en suite and Juliet balcony. Local schools rated Good, low crime and fast broadband make the location especially convenient for professionals with children.
Be candid about running costs and improvement needs. The solid brick walls date from original construction and may lack modern cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrading could be required to reduce heating bills. Council tax is above average for the area. Buyers should factor in possible refurbishment costs if seeking a fully modernised finish.
Overall this house will appeal to families wanting immediate liveability with scope to personalise and extend. It offers a rare combination of period charm, useful outdoor space and clear potential to add value through sensitive renovation or extension (subject to planning).
