Elmcroft Avenue Wanstead, E11 2BS

IF YOU LIVED HERE

With almost 1,100 square feet of space over two floors, you’d have lots of space to spread out and relax. On the ground floor you’d have two large living spaces, plus a hallway with built-in storage cupboards, and on the first floor you’d have two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom, and a family bathroom. There’s also lots of space outside, with a paved front yard providing off-street parking for one car, side access to a detached garage, and a 60 foot long garden.

The largest room is the 23’ by 17’9” open plan kitchen/diner. This is a fabulous family room, with a large kitchen comprising a comprehensive range of bespoke Shaker-style wall and floor cabinets with integrated appliances, and a large central island with a sink and breakfast bar. There’s also ample space for a big dining table, and the whole room has great natural light from two roof lights and a wall of bifold doors that open onto the garden terrace, and a relaxed feel from the warm tones of an exposed brick wall and complementary sage green cabinetry.

The front living room is a quiet retreat with simple, fresh modern décor and stunning features including a built-in wood mantel and alcove shelving, and a beautiful black enamel wood burning stove. The large bay window has bespoke plantation shutters, and a school-style radiator completes the understated yet unique look of this room.

Bespoke plantation shutters are also fitted in the large bay windows in the two double bedrooms. The front bedroom also has two built-in wardrobes, whilst the second bedroom to the rear has garden views. The third single bedroom is ideal for its current use as a workspace if not needed as a bedroom. The bathroom has been thoughtfully updated, with a modern suite including a large corner shower and distinctive floor and wall tiles, with a striking monochrome colour scheme.

The sunny south-facing garden is landscaped into areas for entertaining, play, and relaxation, with an extensive paved terrace with plenty of rooms for barbecues and outdoor dining adjacent to the house, and a detached 22’8” by 9’3” brick garage with windows and a side door alongside an area of lawn. Planted beds run all along the western border. The garden has an open aspect, with views of surrounding trees and big skies.
