Set on a peaceful street in the desirable Aldersbrook enclave, this bay-fronted Victorian terrace combines generous family space with period charm. The ground floor flows from a double reception into an extended kitchen/diner with skylights and French doors, while two bathrooms and three bedrooms provide practical everyday living for a growing family. A cellar and an 85ft southeast-facing garden add useful storage and outdoor amenity.
The house is thoughtfully presented with original features—high ceilings, ornate cornicing, fireplaces and sash-style bay windows—paired with contemporary fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms. At about 1,394 sq ft, rooms are comfortably proportioned for family life and entertaining; nearby Wanstead Park, Wanstead High Street and good transport links (Central and Elizabeth lines) support an active, well-connected lifestyle.
Practical points to note: the property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of the period), double glazing installation date is unknown, and council tax is above average. These are common for houses of this age and offer opportunities to improve energy efficiency and running costs. Any ground- or first-floor extensions would be subject to planning consent.
Overall, this freehold mid-terrace presents a spacious, characterful home for families who value location, period detail and outdoor space, while being prepared to make measured energy-performance or cosmetic upgrades to suit personal taste.
