Bordered by Wanstead Flats, the Southernmost boundary of Epping Forest, Wanstead Park, the extensive grounds once owned by the now long demolished Wanstead House, the Aldersbrook Conservation area is spoiled for choice when it comes to the beautiful, natural surroundings. Commuting time has also been cut for many, with the newly opened Elizabeth Line providing access to Liverpool Street in 14 minutes, or Paddington in just over 35 minutes, from Manor Park Station. As of 2023, when the Elizabeth Line is planned to be fully operational, it is planned for trains to depart Manor Park Station every five minutes, resulting in swifter and more efficient journey times. Aldersbrook estate is predominantly made up of large, attractive Edwardian homes, and some, like this particular property, still enjoy many of the sought-after original features which create a feeling of period grandeur.
Past the wrought iron railings, over the Minton tiled pathway leading you towards the exposed brick façade, with sash windows and impressive doorway with impressive etched glass inserts, this home does not disappoint on character. A mix of exposed original flooring, ornate plasterwork and high skirtings sit beautifully alongside the tastefully executed rear extension, complete with ground floor bay housing the breakfast table. The formal reception to the front houses an impressive original fireplace, one of many, but certainly the grandest in the home, with the room easily accommodating a large furniture suite. The rear reception is equally as impressive, measuring an impressive 23ft. 4'' in length, with sky lantern providing natural light in addition to the bi-fold doors, which open up the space to the landscaped garden as well as providing a pleasing all year-round view. The contemporary 25ft. 4'' kitchen/breakfast room oozes quality with an Urban Myth Kitchen and Quartz worktop housing only the necessary cooking facilities including double oven with warming drawer, thanks to the large separate utility room with handy W.C storing the larger, nosier appliances. There is also a good-sized cellar, perfect for additional storage, accessible from the ground floor.
To the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms, the smallest of which is still a good sized single or, at present, a comfortable home office. All the bedrooms are lucky enough to retain original fireplaces, with the largest having been sympathetically adapted to provide a handy en-suite shower room in addition to the neighbouring shower room accessible from the first floor landing area. The second-floor bedroom is an impressive 19ft. 10'' x 16ft. 8'' allowing the space to be used as either the principal bedroom, guest suite or play space depending upon the family's needs. There is handy, secure, gated side access to the landscaped rear garden, one which has a natural, woodland like feel whilst also providing three distinct, practical 'zones' – a seating area leading to a dining space and rear play area or additional seating area. The garden feels incredibly private thanks to the mature, surrounding trees and is additionally low-maintenance without taking away the opportunity for further planting opportunities in the surrounding raised and lower level beds.

About this agent
For well over a century Petty Son and Prestwich has had a long and successful history in Wanstead and the surrounding area. The firm was founded in Leytonstone in 1908 by C. Petty, a locally renowned builder, under the style of Petty & Son. The company was then run by his son Charles, a chartered surveyor. Petty and Son quickly grew in both size and reputation and was soon to become Petty Son & Prestwich when Harry Prestwich entered the partnership, offering services in surveying, estate agency and auctioneering. The Wanstead Office was opened in 1912. Our continued success stems from reputation and recommendation and through this, and good old fashioned hard work, it has allowed us to expand and open a branch in the heart of Buckhurst Hill. Mirroring the company’s ethos to work collectively, our Buckhurst Hill office provide the same tailor-made services to all our clients, both new and established. Situated at the top of Queens Road, the team offer the independent and reliable advice that has been our hallmark in Wanstead for so many decades past. Our current team, who between them boast a combined experience of more than 150 years, offer a wide-range of competitive services that include sales, lettings, property management, financial services, refurbishment and development as well as our established survey department. We are proud to maintain an expansive and thorough knowledge of the market and with the opening of our Buckhurst Hill branch we are able to offer our bespoke service from the exciting, emerging London areas of Forest Gate, Leytonstone and the ever-popular Wanstead, through to the heart of Epping Forest to such areas as stylish Loughton and the picturesque Theydon Bois.
