Elmcroft Avenue, Wanstead

IF YOU LIVED HERE...
The ground floor begins with a bright reception room at the front, where a bay window brings in plenty of natural light and pale flooring keeps the space feeling fresh. From here, the layout flows through to the extended kitchen/diner at the rear, a particularly generous room with ample space for cooking, dining and spending time together. Shaker-style cabinetry, a large central island and a range cooker give the kitchen a classic, practical finish, while roof glazing and wide doors draw in plenty of daylight and connect the room directly with the garden. A ground floor WC sits just off the entrance hall.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The two larger bedrooms both offer comfortable proportions, while the third makes a useful child's room, nursery or home office. The bathroom is finished with stone-effect tiling and includes a bath with shower above. Throughout, the interiors are bright, neutral and well kept, making this a home that feels easy to settle into.
Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately six metres and is mainly paved, with space for outdoor seating and a timber shed. Side access runs alongside the house, while the driveway at the front provides useful off street parking. The property is also offered chain free.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...
"Being a country girl at heart, for me Wanstead is the perfect blend of village/city living. With excellent transport links into the city, I often meet up with friends to explore the wonders of London. But I also enjoy going for long, leafy walks with Hollow Ponds and Wanstead Park on my doorstep.
I was first attracted to Wanstead by its charming High Street, lush green spaces and choice of excellent schools. Since moving here, I have discovered some new favourites — for breakfast La Bakerie, lunch at Otto and The Duke for the best roast around.
I love to stay active, and here in Wanstead you have lots to choose from. From organised yoga at Christ Church Green, personal training sessions at Target Fit or jogging around the various nature trails of Epping Forest.
There is a great sense of community here in Wanstead, with informative Facebook groups, street parties, a monthly farmers’ market and the local jumble trail. I have made many friends locally, there is a genuine community spirit here and I am proud to call Wanstead my home."
