Description

This charming Edwardian terraced home features three bedrooms and is nestled in the desirable Aldersbrook Estate, a neighborhood known for its family-friendly atmosphere and proximity to green spaces. While the property retains its original character with distinctive architectural details, it presents an opportunity for renovation and customization to suit contemporary living standards. The home boasts a large south-facing garden that offers ample outdoor space, perfect for gardening enthusiasts or families seeking room for children to play. This significant garden area also provides potential for extension—creating a larger kitchen or additional living space (subject to planning consent). Inside, you will find classic elements such as exposed brickwork and intricate plaster detailing that reflect the charm of the era. The entrance showcases a striking black-and-white mosaic floor that leads into well-proportioned rooms. The formal sitting room is complemented by a marble mantlepiece, while the rear dining room overlooks the picturesque garden. The kitchen, currently laid out in two separate areas, has significant potential for reconfiguration into an open-plan layout that better utilizes both space and natural light. On the first floor, there are two spacious double bedrooms featuring original fireplaces and built-in storage options, alongside a smaller bedroom ideal for use as an office or nursery. The bathroom includes a modern suite but may benefit from modernization to further enhance comfort and style. Additionally, the cellar provides practical storage solutions or a potential workspace. The location within the Aldersbrook Conservation Area means residents can enjoy nearby Wanstead Park and Wanstead Flats—both perfect for leisurely activities like walking or jogging. With excellent local amenities including Aldersbrook Primary School, which boasts an outstanding Ofsted rating just half a mile away, as well as convenient transport links via Manor Park Station (0.8 miles) and frequent bus services along Aldersbrook Road, this property not only offers immediate livability but also substantial investment potential in a sought-after community. This home is being sold chain-free, allowing for quicker transactions. Whether you're looking to create your dream residence or invest in an appreciating asset in this vibrant location, this Edwardian terrace represents a compelling opportunity.
