St. Mary's Avenue, Wanstead, E11

St. Mary's Avenue in Wanstead is regarded as the most premier road within the area with homes rarely coming to market. Impressive properties on substantial plots line the wide, tree-lined road which is situated between Wanstead High Street to the North, including Wanstead's Central Line Tube Station at the northerly end of The Green, and the iconic Grade I listed Georgian church of St. Mary's to the South.

Green space is all encompassing in this conservation area, with Wanstead's Cricket, Tennis, Bowling and Golf Clubs all adjacent to the property (with grounds visible from the first floor). Additionally, Wanstead Park, a former hunting ground of Henry VII, offers ornamental lakes and grounds for scenic walks. The commencement of Epping Forest (at the end of Overton Drive) is only 0.3 miles away, also providing extensive walking opportunities and significant bridleway access.

"Wyndlawn", built in 1926, marks the beginning of St. Mary's Avenue and comprises a large detached home of approximately 2,371 square feet. By virtue of its positioning, this large corner plot comprises one of the most significant sized plots on St. Mary's Avenue, providing a substantial South / Easterly garden which is very private and not overlooked at all on one side; one of the many rare attributes of this home. Another rare attribute comprises the private equestrian facility (possibly the only private home in the area with stables), together with a separate double garage with studio and bathroom on the first floor, with an attached shed to one side of the garages.

A deep, smart frontage bordered by intricate wrought iron railings provides a perfect entrance to the home and leads into a furnished entrance hall, where an attractive original central staircase dominates the space. A well-proportioned formal sitting room leads to a large dining room, both benefiting from impressive views across the immaculate gardens, with natural light enabled by an extensive run of windows on the majority of walls. The large retro kitchen / diner can be accessed directly via the formal dining room or the central entrance hall and is again spacious and bright with a separate pantry. A convenient downstairs bathroom and a cellar are also accessible from the ground floor.

To the first floor, a substantial landing area leads to five bedrooms and a family bathroom, of which the principal bedroom enjoys Chippendale-fitted furniture with a good deal of surrounding floor space and dual aspect windows. There are two further good-sized doubles which also include views of St. Mary's Church and Wanstead Golf Course, and one providing access to good-sized eaves storage; another bedroom is currently used as a combination of dressing room and single bedroom and there is a further smaller study / potential single bedroom. The retro family bathroom comfortably accommodates a bathroom suite and separate shower, with natural light flooding in from a combination of windows and glass block tiles. The loft provides ample storage space or opportunity to expand the already generous living accommodation (STPC).

Externally, the extremely private South / Easterly garden begins with a wraparound patio accessed from both formal reception rooms and kitchen and includes a raised veranda area which is accessible directly from the dining room; the perfect place to relax, dine and entertain al fresco. The manicured lawn, bordered by established shrubs and trees, leads to a pair of stables (constructed by Scotts of Thrapston) positioned to the rear of the plot, with a detached double garage, electric garage doors accessible from Overton Drive and hard-standing providing plenty of room for secure parking. To the rear of the double garage, stairs lead to a first floor studio with a small bathroom (including sits-bath, WC and sink), a potential kitchenette area and eaves storage, providing usage as an annexe or outside office area with facilities. A brick-built storage shed, a composting facility and an additional large storage room attached to the double garage are also incorporated into this rear area allowing for facilities to be available without being in sight of the house or garden – this area lends itself well to development subject to the usual planning consents.

The property is offered to the market chain free.
