This Victorian terraced house offers generous accommodation with three double bedrooms, complemented by a spacious family bathroom upstairs featuring a vaulted ceiling and skylight. Double glazed wooden sash windows run throughout, while a west-facing garden and a lean-to extension with a glass roof add to the home’s appeal. Storage has been carefully integrated across the home, and the location places you in the heart of Wanstead, close to shops, amenities and everyday conveniences, making it a compelling option for those seeking character and comfort in equal measure.
IF YOU LIVED HERE…
A traditional brick frontage with crisp detailing gives the house a composed presence along the terrace, with a ground-floor bay adding definition and an attractive first impression. Inside, the reception room unfolds with generous proportions and an easy sense of flow, offering flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. Daylight filters through a wide window, while wood flooring adds warmth and continuity, creating an inviting and settled atmosphere.
Beyond, the kitchen/diner has a pleasing sense of proportion, shaped by expansive overhead glazing and rear windows that draw daylight deep into the room. The dining area sits naturally within the layout, with a strong connection through to the garden. There is also clear scope, subject to the necessary permissions, to open this area into the reception and introduce wide rear glazing, further strengthening the link with the outdoors. The garden itself is arranged with a combination of decking and paving, making it easy to maintain, while established planting softens the edges and leaves plenty of opportunity to add your own touches over time.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing features original wood flooring and painted balustrades, with natural light filtering through to create a relaxed transition between rooms. The primary bedroom is a comfortable double with twin windows and built-in wardrobes providing generous storage. A second bedroom continues the wood flooring from the landing, adding character underfoot. The bathroom is impressively sized, with a skylight and window bringing in daylight, and includes both a bath and a separate shower, finished in neutral tones.
The loft room enjoys open views across neighbouring rooftops, with plentiful storage neatly tucked away within the eaves. Overall, the house feels well balanced and thoughtfully arranged, offering a comfortable home that’s ready to enjoy while leaving room to make it your own.
The surrounding area offers a great balance of neighbourhood atmosphere and open green space. Wanstead High Street is close by, with everyday amenities alongside independent favourites such as Bobo & Wild for relaxed dining, The Cuckfield for drinks and social evenings, and a varied mix of boutiques, cafés and shops. Even closer, The Duke in Wanstead sits just moments from the house, offering a well-loved local spot for food and drinks. Wanstead Park and Epping Forest provide wide, open green space for walks and outdoor time, while families are well served by a strong choice of schools, including the highly regarded Nightingale Primary School within a short walk.
WHAT ELSE?
Snaresbrook Station is a nine-minute walk away, offering direct Central line services into central London.

a word from the owner....
"We have loved living in Wanstead for the past 20 years. We chose Cowley Road for its excellent location between two tube stations, a great choice of restaurants, cafes and essential shops on the very nearby high street and access to lovely walks including Epping Forest and Wanstead Park. This wonderful area of London has given us the best of both worlds in terms to being able to enjoy its green open spaces and easy access to central London. We are sad to be leaving Wanstead and we hope new owners will have as much enjoyment as we have had living here."

Our Local Guide:
Wanstead
Thanks to its royal connections and grand properties, Wanstead has previously been compared to the likes of Twickenham and Richmond, although East Londoners are quick to point out that it has plenty enough merits of its own.
For a start, despite its villagey feel, it’s proudly nestled within London’s most creative quadrant and only a short hop on the Central line from the bright lights of the City. There’s also an abundance of green space – Wanstead Flats, Epping Forest, Wanstead Park and Chalet Wood, with the seasonal display of bluebells in the latter just calling out for an accompanying picnic from one of the well-stocked local delis or cafes. But that’s not to say that Wanstead’s charming pubs and restaurants aren’t delightful to look at themselves – it’ll be deciding which to go for that’s the problem.

Transport links
Wanstead, so good they connected it twice. Travellers have the choice of two London Underground stations at either end of the High Street - Wanstead at one and Snaresbrook at the other, both of which are on branches of the Central line.
Family Friendly
With plenty of open green open, laid-back eateries, great schools, cool creative types to live vicariously through, and enough coffee to keep any new parent sane, it’s no wonder so many families are moving to Wanstead.
Vibrant High Street
With a mixture of chain and independent stores conveniently selling everything from groceries to art supplies, Wanstead High Street is where the community comes together. We love that you might go out for a bunch of bananas but return with a vintage bowler hat.
Plenty of Parks on open green spaces
There’s an abundance of green space in Wanstead, with the Flats, Forest, Park and Pond providing a mixture of manicured lawns, untamed wilds and activity-packed playgrounds. Whether you want to burn off energy or recuperate, you’ll find the right spot.
