A word from the owners...

"Moving to this flat was a great stepping stone for us. We love the light from the amazing full length windows, and all of the new fixtures. We are very proud of the inbuilt wardrobe which we installed. This flat could not be in a better position for Wanstead station, which is a 3 minute walk away. You can be in Bond Street in 35 minutes. It is also a 3 minute walk from the villagey high street filled with many great pubs and restaurants. It is also surrounded by nature, which we love. Wanstead is such a great community and fantastic place to live. Wanstead feels like a village with easy access to London. It has such a community feel - in our time here we have got to know many local business owners by name. We are staying local because we love it so much. There is a beautiful central park, and many great pubs and cafes. There are also long nature walks within 20 minutes."
