Description
This three-bedroom Edwardian home offers three reception rooms, a rear kitchen extension and a cellar, with further extension possibilities subject to the necessary permissions. The ground floor includes a front lounge, a separate dining room with period features and a second reception room opening towards the garden.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom spanning the width of the house. The bathroom has a bath and separate shower, and there is also a separate WC. A side passage leads to two storage rooms and an outside WC before reaching the rear garden. The listing also notes potential for a loft extension, subject to planning permission.
Wanstead Flats and Wanstead Park are nearby, and Manor Park station is stated to be around half a mile away, with Elizabeth Line connections. Aldersbrook Primary School is approximately 0.6 miles away, and a Tesco Express is described as a short walk from the property.

Confidence: MEDIUM
This Edwardian home has plenty of character, with period fireplaces and detailing, generous reception space and a bright, serviceable Shaker-style kitchen. Its setting near Wanstead Flats, Wanstead Park and Manor Park’s Elizabeth Line connection is another clear draw. The visible work is light: the rear garden would benefit from clearance and care, while the unfinished cellar offers scope to improve its storage or utility use. The listing also describes further extension potential, subject to planning permission.
The main reservation is value. At £1.1m, the asking price is around 18% above the local average per square foot, and even allowing for a mid-to-substantial works programme, the purchase and improvement costs look stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That comparison is with current local average value, not a forecast of what the house might be worth after improvements.
Key opportunities
- Retain and make the most of the period fireplaces, high ceilings and generous reception spaces.
- Clear and maintain the rear garden to better complement the house and its direct garden access.
- Explore the listing’s stated extension potential, subject to planning permission; the unfinished cellar could also be assessed for more useful storage or utility space.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding a substantial improvement programme could leave the overall outlay stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area.
- Purchase plus the works band looks tight with the asking price plus a meaningful modernisation spend, about 16% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
