IF YOU LIVED HERE

It’ll take a long time before the novelty of walking up to your grand double-fronted home wears off, particularly since there’s such a charming front garden.

Beyond your lovely vintage-style front door, you’ll find two well balanced reception rooms at the front of the house. Each has plenty of natural-light and a tasteful colour palette, as well as striking period features, such as the ornate coving and original timber floors.

At the rear, you’ll find your dine-in kitchen, which also benefits from a pleasingly bold hues, as well as brilliant features such as the double stove and rustic flooring. You’ll appreciate being able to open the doors to your south-facing garden, which has been lovingly landscaped by the previous owners. As well as a pond, you’ll find trees and shrubs bearing everything from figs and red currents to apples and pears.

Of course, you’ve also got your ground floor bathroom and utility space, which will be fantastically convenient. The cellar space will also help banish clutter from your life, too.

There are four bedrooms with more of those classic features on the first floor, as well as an aesthetically-pleasing family bathroom with a stylish contrast colour palette. You’ll love soaking in the roll-top tub, but the walk-in shower will be handy when you’ve got less time.

When you can finally tear yourself away from your lovely home, you’ll be delighted to find some fantastic amenities nearby. Start with a stroll to Wanstead Flats (Henry VIII’s favoured hunting ground), which is ideal for dog-walkers, fitness fans and picnickers.

Hungry? Head to Winchelsea Road, a thriving hub with some fantastic eateries located in the old railway arches - about 15 mins on foot. Look out for Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen, Wild Goose Bakery and Arch Rivals.

In the other direction, you’ll come across the Golden Fleece, a traditional pub with a beer garden, well-stocked menu and a great selection of locally brewed ales. There are also some great eateries closer to home, including an excellent Italian deli at the top of your road.
