Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000. This lovely second floor one bedroom flat for sale in Wanstead is well presented, tidy and modern. Located just a short walk from Snaresbrook Central Line Station, the beautiful Leyton Flats and Hollow Ponds, this period property comes with a communal garden and off-street parking. Wanstead and Leytonstone Underground stations are also within walking distance.
An attractive larger property converted into four separate flats, as you approach you’ll note the well-kept lawned garden to the front of the building with established trees and shrubbery. Alighting the wide steps into the covered porch area, as you enter through the main door, you’re welcomed into the entrance hall with its traditional and charming mosaic tiled floor and stunning high ceilings.
Heading up to the first floor of the building, you enter your private one bedroom flat through a secure door, taking you into a small entrance and another carpeted staircase leading up to the property itself. Halfway up is a small landing with space to keep a shoe-rack or storage until, where the stairs double back to continue up to the main hallway from which you can access the entire flat. There’s a storage cupboard to the left at the top of the stairs for coats and bags to avoid clutter, with room to keep your cleaning equipment or other sundries to hide them from view. The ceiling of the hallway contains access to the loft, which offers yet more valuable storage space.
At the top of the stairs, take a right turn and the first door on the right-hand side is the wet room style shower room. Tiled from floor-to-ceiling with dark grey slate tiles on the floor, and white subway-style tiles on the walls, it’s an easy-to-clean and smart space which has been cleverly designed to make the most of the footprint. There’s a square vanity unit with a sink and a mirror inset into the tiles above it, a toilet unit which has been separated from the open shower cubicle by an unobtrusive but practical glass screen. The room has been fitted with a clean and contemporary feel to it and this style of bathroom wouldn’t be out of place in a modern boutique hotel.
The next door to your right as you exit the bathroom finds you in the bedroom, which is large enough for a double bed, bedside units, wardrobes, dressing table and chest of drawers – it’s a generous size which will take a flexible configuration of your chosen furniture. The chimney breast on the back wall creates recesses perfect for wardrobes, storage units or shelving, and the decor could easily be freshened up if you wanted to make your own mark on your new home. The double glazed window ensures the room is well lit and the overall ambience is relaxing and peaceful.
The next room to your right is the generously sized reception room, which sits at the front of the property and offers a large double-glazed sash window and plenty of natural light. The star of the show in this lovely social space is the rather grand fireplace, with a beautiful surround, hearth and mantle that really catches the eye and adds a charming extra touch of character. It would easily accommodate for a large suite, coffee table, storage units and your entertainments, leaving room still for a dining table by the window for casual dining, socialising or simply grabbing a quick bite for breakfast. This could also double-up as a small office area if you need to work from home. The walls are painted in magnolia with a high quality wooden effect flooring for a lovely neutral canvas from which to build your ideal interior style. This reception room is large enough to hold a dinner party or games night for family or friends, or to kick-back and relax in with your favourite film or TV show.
The adjoining fully-fitted, modern kitchen is sleek, sophisticated and brilliantly functional, with the same wooden effect flooring from the reception, creating a wonderful flow. The grey gloss fitted base and wall units blend beautifully with the white worktops, and the polished concrete look splash-back is an ultra stylish feature. There’s a fitted hob and integrated oven with a pull out extractor hood and the sash window bathes the room in sunlight, with additional storage and preparation space opposite the hob and oven, making this galley-style kitchen a masterpiece in effective design. The discreet lighting gives the room a subtle glow on an evening making entertaining your friends and family a genuine pleasure.
The property has double glazed windows and central heating throughout and comes with a large, shared lawned garden, offering mature shrubbery and a lovely space to enjoy those long, warm summer nights. As a further bonus for the new owner, this one bedroom flat also comes with off-street parking and is in fantastic condition throughout.
Location-wise, this property has plenty of benefits. Hollow Ponds and Leyton Flats are just a few hundred yards away, giving you access to natural outdoor space for exercising, socialising or getting a little fresh air. With excellent rail and bus links for your morning commute and proximity to both Bushwood and Wanstead villages for shopping and local amenities, you’ll never have to worry about the essentials. This thriving and popular area will also give you plenty of options for eating out (or in!), meeting the locals in a variety of pubs and bars, or meeting up with friends for a coffee. Whatever you need, this fabulous one bedroom flat can deliver, inside and out!
