Description

This sizable Edwardian residence, covering 2,034 square feet, presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. With six bedrooms and three bathrooms, the property is well-positioned within the sought-after Aldersbrook Estate, just a short walk from the highly regarded Aldersbrook Primary School and local transport links including Manor Park Station. The home is nestled within a conservation area that boasts access to extensive public green spaces such as Wanstead Park and Wanstead Flats, enhancing its appeal for family living and outdoor activities. The external appearance features an attractive exposed brick façade and a striking double-height bay window that make for an impressive first impression. Inside, you will find generous living spaces rich in character, with original fireplaces adding historic charm throughout the home. The ground floor accommodates multiple reception areas along with a convenient shower room and utility space. There exists exciting potential for expansion into the side return to create a more modern open-plan layout (STPP). On the upper floors, the property offers versatile bedroom options including those ideal for conversion into additional living spaces or home offices if desired. The loft has already been converted to include two further bedrooms alongside a bathroom, perfect for guests or older children. The garden is designed with distinct areas that can be transformed to suit your vision—complete with greenery that enhances privacy and an outbuilding that could serve various purposes such as storage or a workshop. This property combines classic elegance with substantial renovation potential in a prime London location.
