Overton Drive, Wanstead, E11

Showcasing the best in superior design, this five bedroom family home is located on Overton Drive, a short walk from Wanstead Station and High Street (0.6 Miles) with its fantastic array of independent boutiques, bars and restaurants. The grounds of Wanstead Park and surrounding forest land are also a short 0.6 Miles from the home, meaning scenic walks and bike rides are just over a ten minute walk away throughout the year; the perfect balance of city and countryside on your doorstep.

Every inch of the home has been thoroughly thought through, from the carefully appointed exterior with a large driveway, neatly tucked away bin store and carefully selected shrubs and plants which edge the home and provide maximum impact with minimal upkeep. The original doorway with decorative stained glass and double 'Banham' lock (Banham alarm system also installed) leads you into the spacious hallway, sporting solid wooden flooring laid in a Herringbone pattern, similar to the style that would have been used in many Edwardian homes. Wet underfloor heating runs through the entirety of the ground floor and can be individually zoned, with the exception of the walk-in pantry so goods can be kept cool. The beautiful Herringbone flooring continues into both the live-in family kitchen and formal reception to the front, the latter of which comfortably holds a large furniture suite and enjoys the traditional features such as central gas fire and picture rail in addition to an art gallery invisible hanging system. The hallway also provides access to the ground floor W.C with recessed sink and striking, imported Moroccan tiles, and two large storage cupboards; one used for shoe and coat storage and the other a deep media cupboard.

An extension with living roof has been added to create an outstanding, live-in family kitchen - a space where clever, modern family living is at the forefront of the design. The resounding feeling of natural light that runs throughout the home is felt most acutely in this area, where two huge sliding doors and skylights dominate the space. A huge run of bespoke, touch-close cupboards and discreetly designed work-from-home desk space run along the side of the room providing a massive amount of storage. There is also wiring for a television and a modern gas fire along this wall and surround sound throughout this, and the formal reception room. Even the windowsill in the large picture window has been designed with an oversized sill so it can double up as a child's table. The sizeable kitchen island with breakfast bar and recessed overhead extractor, looks over the seating and dining area ensuring cooking whilst socialising is effortless. The island also contains deep storage cupboards on both sides, power points on both ends and a wine fridge; everything you could possibly need to comfortably cook with everything at hand. There is an integrated dishwasher, recycling and waste bin storage, oven with 'slide and hide' door, oven/grill and space for a large American dishwasher in the rest of the solid wooden kitchen, with further space for a fridge freezer as well as all the family produce in the neighbouring walk-in pantry. A separate utility room houses the washing and tumble drier along with a water softener, boiler with Nest system, mega flow with additional pumps, separate sink and storage cupboards and provides access to the home's integral, secure and alarmed bike storage.

Moving to the first floor there is a large landing with two generously deep storage cupboards perfect for housing linen and toiletries, and four bedrooms - three generous doubles and a large single. Like the second floor bathroom, the family bathroom on this floor is underfloor heated with tiled, recessed shelving and boasts twin sinks, wall hung toilet and bath with shower. The second floor landing has yet more storage in the form of a small cupboard ideal for suitcases, leading to a beautiful master bedroom with picture window and pitched ceiling makes the loft conversion feel more spacious than most. Two walk-in dressing cupboards and a built in wardrobe and large eves space make the best of all the available space on offer and the contemporary en-suite shower room provides a large walk-in shower with wet room style sunken shower tray.

Externally there is a fantastically proportioned landscaped garden, starting with a large patio which wraps around the extension and can be accessed by both sets of sliding doors, leading to central lawn and surrounding beds. To the rear of the garden a screened children's play area provides the perfect solution to accommodating play equipment without the garden feeling cluttered and provides a space for the children to play safely. The garden's sprinkler system makes caring for a beautiful garden that little bit easier in the warmer months.
