What the Owner says:
We knew this house was the house for us when we first saw it, and we have carefully and lovingly modernised it to suit our family. The house has a feel of spaciousness and calm and is perfect to come home to after a busy day.

We're particularly fond of its location, with stunning views of Wanstead Park, and the privacy offered by our garden. At the rear of the garden, we've added a substantial outbuilding, that we use as an office and gym, a sauna and hot tub, and a much-loved barbecue area complete with a firepit, ideal for outdoor entertainment.

Aldersbrook is a great area with excellent recreational and sporting facilities, great schools, and convenient access to central London. The sense of community here is strong, and it's been a wonderful place for our boys to grow up.
