An iconic Georgian cottage proudly positioned on Wanstead High Street, Petty Son & Prestwich are proud to offer for sale this listed two double bedroom, 18th Century home.
*SOLD BY PETTY SON AND PRESTWICH* One of the most uniquely positioned homes in Wanstead today, this semi-detached Georgian cottage is a rare survivor from the time of Wanstead House - then termed the 'English Versailles'.
Wanstead's thriving High Street boasts many independent café's, bar's restaurants and shops as well as a large number of fantastic schools and transport links. Set on the High Street but separated by a large garden towards the front, this home has the advantage of having everything Wanstead has to offer on your doorstep and is just a short walk from both Snaresbrook (0.4 miles) and Wanstead Central Line Station (0.3 miles).
Stepping through the quaint cottage gate, the well-maintained laurel hedges that surround the garden, provide plenty of privacy to enjoy the outside. Externally the property is stunning, with the restored Georgian brickwork, sash windows and quaint wooden doors; one of which being the original trades entrance to the home. Stepping inside, you immediately enter the lounge containing a decorative alcove and central fireplace. This is also the case in the dining room that also enjoys a central fireplace and connects seamlessly to the property's contemporary kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen enjoys a range of fitted appliances and has double doors which open onto the front garden.
Upstairs, the charming landing has a large fireplace which forms a striking feature. The landing provides access to a modern bathroom and two double bedrooms; the master with a central fireplace and the second bedroom with an area that could be used for wardrobe space.

Property information from this agent
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. We firmly believe that with our expertise and passion combined with the old-fashioned values of reliability, trustworthiness and commitment, we can continue to deliver to our clients across east London and west Essex an unparalleled service into the next century!
