Inside the spacious hallway you can start to appreciate the care and attention to detail that is on offer, with the original Terazzo flooring that has been carefully restored. Just off the hallway is the impressive sitting room that has a stained-glass bay window with a seating area, ideal for watching the world go by or reading a book. This room also has two Ingelnook fireplaces, giving it a cosy and inviting feel.

To the rear is a superb modern kitchen/breakfast room with walk in larder, Miele appliances and bi-fold doors leading you to the rear garden and a skylight that allows the light to flood in.

Sellers Insight

We knew this house was the house for us when we first saw it, and we have carefully and lovingly modernised it to suit our family. The house has a feel of spaciousness and tranquillity, it’s perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor entertaining.

We’re particularly fond of its location, with stunning views of Wanstead Park, and the privacy offered by our garden. At the rear of the garden, we’ve added a substantial outbuilding, that we use as an office and gym, a sauna and hot tub, and a much-loved barbecue area complete with a firepit, ideal for outdoor entertainment.

Aldersbrook is a great area with excellent recreational and sporting facilities, great schools, and convenient access to central London. The sense of community here is strong, and it’s been a wonderful place for our boys to grow up.
