Set in a fantastic spot between Epping Forest and Wanstead High Street, this stylishly designed three-bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of a striking Art Deco building. Bright, spacious and full of character, it combines period charm with an effortlessly easy layout, including high ceilings, excellent storage, a separate kitchen and a generous reception/dining room. There’s also a west-facing balcony with fantastic views, giving you a lovely spot to catch the afternoon and evening sun. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat, with Epping Forest just around the corner and Wanstead High Street a short stroll away for its brilliant mix of pubs, restaurants and independent shops. Snaresbrook Station is only a few minutes on foot too, putting the Central line within easy reach. IF YOU LIVED HERE… With 1,345 square feet of space, this bright and beautiful three-bedroom apartment has plenty of room to spread out. Considered decor, high ceilings, column radiators and large windows give the reception room a wonderfully open, elegant feel, while the tiled balcony adds both charm and extra outdoor space. The layout creates two easily zoned areas without interrupting the flow of light, giving you an effortless place to lounge as well as a dedicated dining area. The separate kitchen continues the thoughtful design, with striking monochrome flooring, sleek units, glossy tiling and high-spec appliances that sit beautifully alongside the home’s Art Deco heritage. All three bedrooms are generous doubles with built-in storage and individual decor, while the bathroom is a real highlight, with a striking monochrome design softened by a blush-painted ceiling that feels wonderfully in keeping with the building’s Art Deco character. An over-tub shower, marble-style vanity basin and vintage-style towel rail complete the look. Outside, peaceful communal grounds lead to much-loved Wanstead, where you’ll find everything from horse riding and farmers’ markets to leafy parks and welcoming pubs. The area’s village-like feel comes with easy city access too: Snaresbrook Station is just a nine-minute walk away, connecting you to Central London in around 15 minutes via the Central line. Local favourites include La Bakerie for coffee, Provender and The Cardamom Room for dinner, and nearby Tiffin Tin or Luppolo for takeaway nights. South Woodford’s wider amenities, including M&S, Waitrose and the Odeon cinema, are also close by, with Leyton and Walthamstow easily reached.
