First-floor period flat near Wanstead High Street and Central Line.
Bay-fronted reception with original wood flooring and period features
Bright, well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat in a handsome period building, minutes from Wanstead High Street and Wanstead Station. The bay-fronted reception floods with natural light and retains original wood flooring and period detailing, making it a characterful yet practical London home. The principal bedroom overlooks the communal garden and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower keeps the layout contemporary and low-maintenance.
Practical benefits include resident off-street parking to the rear, communal rear gardens and a share of freehold – rare conveniences in this part of east London. The kitchen is stylish with integrated appliances and a gas hob, suited to everyday cooking; the accommodation totals approximately 698 sq ft, pitched at buyers seeking a compact but comfortable urban home.
Buyers should note a couple of constraints: the kitchen is relatively compact and the property’s solid-brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, so modest energy-efficiency upgrades could be beneficial. The flat is a first-floor conversion in a building from the early 20th century, so purchasers should expect the usual maintenance considerations for period stock.
Overall this flat offers an appealing mix of character, convenient transport links and village-style amenities — a strong option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors wanting a well-located, move-in-ready period apartment with clear potential through targeted low-cost improvements.
