If you lived here

Everything here epitomises contemporary sophistication and style, while the architecture itself is timeless. Your double height reception room is flooded with natural light from the ceiling skimming windows, shining down on mahogany hardwood flooring. The walls are finished in a soft cream hue, complemented by pearl grey doors. Next door, your kitchen, finished in a modern aesthetic features sleek, stainless steel and white cabinetry, timber style worktops, and granite style tiles underfoot. The space is lined with black mosaic tiles, adding sophistication.

The first bathroom, framed with peony pink mosaic tiles, has a large tub with shower overhead and white ceramic fixtures. Modern, pendant lighting is overhead, while matt black tiles run underfoot. You have two double bedrooms, the first, adjacent to your kitchen, is finished in a clean white hue with plush grey carpeting, and has two sizeable windows, along with a vintage style, mirrored wardrobe.

Front facing, and similarly styled as your principal sleeper, bedroom two also has a stylish en suite that overlooks the front of your home, framed by taupe mosaic tiling with a separate shower cubicle. Upstairs, and that mezzanine is a true treasure, overlooking your reception and spanning 260 square feet of open space. The curved, beamed ceilings reflect your new home's heritage and the lustrous, warm hardwood flooring adds to the classic design. This versatile space offers endless possibilities, allowing you to create your ideal home studio, home working area or just an extra social space.

A word from the owner.....

"We immediately fell in love with the flat because of the high ceilings and beautiful way the light fills the space because of the double height ceiling and floor to ceiling windows in the lounge. Whilst it is a two bedroom flat it has so much living space because of the mezzanine area. The building has a lot of history and the flats in it are unique as a result.

The area has continued to develop since we first moved and the high street is now thriving and provides excellent shops and restaurants as well as great local amenities. There are also many local community events in Wanstead. The location is perfectly balanced as the flat is only a short walk from the central line which provides very direct access to the city but also has very quick and easy access to the beautiful Epping Forest and Essex countryside. We truly loved our time living in this flat."
