Redbridge Lane West, London, E11

Abundant in charm and character, this rare-to-market five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached home is set on a highly sought-after residential turning, just moments from Wanstead High Street and tube station. A front garden, planted for year round interest, leads to an elegant canopy-pillared porch, opening through a stained-glass entrance into a welcoming hallway. The front bay-fronted reception room showcases large sash windows and high ceilings, flooding the space with natural light. Period features such as a fireplace and ornate cornicing further enhance its timeless appeal. To the rear, a second reception room also boasts a fireplace, exposed wood flooring, and two stained-glass side windows. Sliding doors lead on to a small deck. The separate kitchen benefits from a rear extension with skylights, allowing the south-facing sun to pour in, creating a bright dining space, and with bifold doors opening to the garden beyond. A cleverly tucked-away downstairs W/C and larder completes the ground floor. The south-facing garden is a private oasis, thoughtfully curated to evoke peace and calm. Mature trees and shrubs, a decked seating area, and a charming pond offer the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. On the first floor, you’ll find three double bedrooms—two with fitted wardrobes—and a fourth bedroom, currently used as a home office. A stylish family bathroom serves this level. The thoughtfully designed loft conversion hosts a spacious principal bedroom with a generous walk in wardrobe, an en-suite shower room W/C and basin, and extensive eaves storage. Double doors frame a leafy view of the garden. Additional storage is available in the practical cellar and the property benefits from a generous Feed-in Tarrif (FIT) income from the twenty PV solar panels on the flat roof. Tucked between the energy of Wanstead High Street to the north and the quiet, historic charm of St. Mary’s Georgian church to the south, this home enjoys an enviable position bordering the Wanstead Grove Conservation Area—one of East London’s most picturesque settings. Surrounded by green space, including Wanstead’s Cricket, Tennis, Bowling, and Golf Clubs, the area offers a true village feel. Just a short stroll away lies Wanstead Park, once owned by Henry VII. Forming a southerly part of Epping Forest, and as the gardens of Wanstead House, it was later remodelled to rival Versailles, and since then has been allowed to relax into a Grade II listed ancient woodland famous for it's lakes and bluebells. Transport links are excellent, with nearby Wanstead Station (Central Line) providing direct access to Liverpool Street in around 20 minutes. For drivers, the A12, North Circular, and M11 are all easily accessible. The area is also well served by a range of highly regarded schools, both state and independent. Offered on a chain free basis. A word from the owners.... "We are reluctantly downsizing after almost thirty happy years here in a friendly neighbourhood. The amazing verdant High Street and two tube stations just a short walk away, the various community groups, the famous Wanstead Park close by, and the annual Wanstead Fringe and monthly Farmers Market have all enhanced our lives here. The new cinema club and a soon to be opened swimming pool can only enhance the locality even further" Freehold Council Tax: Band F (Redbridge)
