Harpenden Road, Aldersbrook, E12

Positioned in the picturesque Aldersbrook conservation area this home is a stone's throw (110 Yards) from Aldersbrook Primary School (Ofsted rated outstanding) and Wanstead Park (0.1 Miles), offering picturesque walks through forest land and past ornamental lakes of the late Wanstead House. 110 Yards in the opposite direction there are fantastic bus routes available from Aldersbrook Road, whilst the sprawling Wanstead Flats offer yet further open space to enjoy year round.

The home immediately impresses upon approach with a stunning exterior; immaculate brick work, sash windows and ornate tiled pathway lead you towards a beautiful stained glass panelled door with leaded, stained glass surround. As you enter the property there is a home office to the front of the house, positioned away from the main living areas and large through reception which is currently set out as a dining and living area. Previously two separate reception rooms, both areas retain original fireplaces, exposed floorboards and cornicing but now, as one space, they enjoy a greater deal of natural light from both the large bay window to the front and window to the rear. There is a conservatory leading from the dining area, perfect as additional reception/play or dining space, but this could be replaced with a rear extension to create a larger living or kitchen space (STPC). Measuring 20 foot in depth the kitchen is a fantastic size and enjoys direct access to the rear garden by way of double doors. With units running down all three walls of the kitchen you are spoiled for storage space and there is no difficulty in accommodating an American style fridge/freezer, large range, washing machine, integrated oven and microwave. The neighbouring W.C and shower room also provide a handy extra facility for family and visitors or could be altered to create a separate utility area if desired. The cellar is accessed by the entrance hall and offers a large and incredibly versatile standing height storage area.

To the first floor, all six bedrooms and the family bathroom showcase the original exposed floorboards. Like the formal living area, the majority of bedrooms enjoy plantation shutters with the principal bedroom and one other also displaying fabulous original fireplaces. The family bathroom has been sympathetically updated with high-rise toilet cistern, roll top bath and Edwardian style sink. There is opportunity to re-imagine the neighbouring, smaller bedroom adjacent to the current principal bedroom as an en-suite if a second bathroom was desired to the first floor. There is scope to develop the loft to create further accommodation if required (STPC).
The garden to the rear is what sets this property apart from the majority of other homes within the conservation area.

Being a conservation area there are restrictions surrounding creating parking space on existing land, making it tricky for buyers who require secure parking. This home not only offers a detached garage but a driveway that is secured behind an additional garage door set into the boundary wall. The garden is a good size and feels incredibly private thanks to its position at the end of the road, offering two patio areas, surrounding flower beds and central lawn.
