Summary - 16, THE WARREN DRIVE E11 2LR
5 bed 2 bath House
Large plot with redevelopment upside close to Wanstead High Street.
Detached 1950s house with substantial plot and golf-course aspect
Set on a wide plot overlooking the 18th green of Wanstead Golf Course, this substantial 1950s detached house combines generous proportions with strong renovation and redevelopment potential. The property benefits from three balconies, large windows and an elevated outlook that bring exceptional natural light to the principal rooms. The plot is deep and around 14 metres wide, with a substantial rear garden and wide driveway providing multiple off-street parking spaces plus an integral garage.
Internally the layout already works for family life: two reception rooms, a large kitchen, ground-floor office and a ground-floor WC provide flexible living space, while five first-floor bedrooms include a master with ensuite and two bedrooms with private balconies. The property is chain free and sits close to Wanstead high street amenities, excellent local schools and Wanstead station (approximately 11 minutes/0.5 miles on foot), making it convenient for commuters.
Buyers should note the house requires renovation throughout and will not suit someone seeking a move-in-ready home. The solid brick walls have internal insulation and the property retains mid-century features that will need sympathetic updating. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the accommodation, while spacious, will benefit from modernisation to unlock full value — there is scope for extension or redevelopment subject to planning.
This will appeal to growing families seeking long-term space on a prestigious road, or developers/investors targeting refurbishment or rebuild opportunities in a very affluent part of Wanstead. The unique golf-course aspect and large plot are standout value-drivers close to green space and excellent schools.
