IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Measuring over 720 sq feet, this duplex apartment is wonderfully light and airy. The open plan kitchen and reception room is the height of contemporary style, with large windows ensuring the light floods in, wooden flooring sweeps underfoot and you have an on-trend forest green accent wall. The smart kitchen is artfully appointed, with sleek integrated appliances, grey flooring with underfloor heating and a gleaming breakfast bar styled in the same brilliant white as the cabinets. Up to the second floor of this duplex, you find your two bedrooms. The largest of these rooms is a sizeable double, with snuggly carpets to ensure your comfort. The second bedroom features sumptuous blue walls and has some handy built in storage. You will love the luxury of the bathroom that also sits on this floor; exceptionally large with a walk-in shower and separate tub, more of that underfloor heating, floating vanity sink and a ceiling skylight providing light and ventilation. The block itself is immaculately kept, with a strong sense of community with the local residents.

Surrounded by glorious green space, you are sure to feel the benefit of being so close to nature here. Wanstead Park has beautiful ponds and lawns for picnicking, with a circular walk around the park and a network of bike paths; it's a great spot for a weekend stomp. Head South and you’re on Wanstead Flats. More gorgeous green space awaits here, and this is also the gateway to some of the area's best restaurants. Head to the buzzy and cool Winchelsea Road, with a handful of independent eateries positioned in the ultra cool setting of the old railway arches. Look out for The Pretty Decent Beer, Wild Goose Bakery and Wanstead Kitchen.
