2 bed flat to rent

Brading Crescent, Aldersbrook E11

This bright and spacious two-bedroom first floor apartment occupies a quiet position surrounded by greenery but still within easy reach of Central London thanks to its proximity to Manor Park station on the speedy Elizabeth line.

As well as the sought-after location, highlights include the private balcony, separate kitchen and reception, plus ample storage.

If you lived here...

You'll love the peace and quiet that comes with living somewhere fully surrounded by green space. Sitting out on your south-facing balcony will be a joy whatever the season, but particularly in summer.

With 680 square feet of internal space, it really is a home you can enjoy spreading out in, especially with the separate kitchen and reception. The latter is large enough for both a lounging area and dining space, and the bespoke carpentry not only looks great but will be a real convenience. The kitchen is smart and modern, with plenty of storage and lots of natural light.

Both of the bedrooms are doubles with more of the spotless decor. Finally, the bathroom is pristine, with floor to ceiling tiling and an over-tub shower. You’ll really appreciate the built in storage as you access the bathroom from the hallway, too.

As for beyond, the Aldersbrook neighbourhood is highly sought-after thanks to its balance of rural charm and proximity to the urban capital. Aldersbrook Riding School is less than 20 mins away on foot, while Aldersbrook Bowls Club is just five mins, so you’ve got plenty of opportunity for unique hobbies.

To the north, you’ll find Wanstead Park, a much loved community space and landmark of historical importance, which hosts regular activities. Look out for the Chalet Wood, especially during bluebell season. Meanwhile to the south, there’s Wanstead Flats, at the southernmost tip of Epping Forest, which was cleared of trees centuries ago and now acts as a great spot for picnics, sport and exploring nature.

What else?

- Wanstead station is a 25 minute walk - or a shorter cycle - across the park, where you can travel directly to Liverpool Street in 20 minutes via Central line.
- Drivers benefit from being around 10 minutes from the North Circular.
- Parents will be pleased to know you have a choice of excellent primary/secondary schools in the area - this is one of the main reason why the area is so popular.
