Large four bedroom end of terrace house with development potential in Forest Gate – three reception rooms, large kitchen, coach house and much more…

An exceptionally spacious, extended four bedroom house with outbuildings, in need of renovation and with huge development potential in sought after Forest Gate. Three reception rooms, kitchen diner, large bedrooms, original features, separate two story coach house and additional outbuildings with direct views to Wanstead Flats. Sidney Road is a quiet residential street in a much sought after location, benefitting from exceptional local amenities and transport links. This end of terrace property - the largest on the street - sits within a large, private corner plot and retains many original features, including full height mullioned bay windows to the front, side and rear facades. Access from the road is via a small paved front garden leading to a glazed porch. There’s also access through the side garden.
The porch provides access to the glazed entrance door and into the main hallway, which retains many of its original features including tiled floor, high ceilings, dado rails, deep skirting, wide architraves and bold cornice.
To the left is the impressively sized through reception room, which can be accessed by either of two doors. The front part of the room has a large bay window looking out of the front of the property with views to Wanstead Flats. Through a squared archway, the rear part of the room also has a bay window which faces the side area of the property.  From the reception room, the hallway leads to the large L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room, with access on the right to the cellar. The first part of the kitchen has a range of base and wall units and includes space for a large stove. The second area includes a further range of cabinets and work surfaces, looking out through the twin windows to the side garden. From the kitchen there’s access to the large lean-to which occupies a portion of the side garden area. Formed from blockwork walls and a glazed roof, this could be updated and retained to provide additional living or workspace, or could be removed to return the side garden to its original configuration. Doors lead from the lean-to out to the retained area of the side garden, which is predominantly paved. The kitchen also leads into another reception room which is currently used as a formal dining room. This room looks out towards the rear of the property via the original bay and through a conservatory which, in turn, provides access to a small rear garden. The rear garden is, once again, predominantly laid to paving. An additional door from the conservatory leads to another room which is currently configured as a large shower room with a number of cubicles.  The shower room also has direct access to the coach house which can also be entered from the rear garden – this could be removed to create a larger outdoor space depending on your renovation vision. The large coach house is currently laid out with several smaller rooms and there is a second story with a matching footprint. This building previously had planning permission for conversion to two one bedroom apartments, which could be investigated to further boost this property’s investment value.   Back into the main house and up to the first floor where you’ll come to a large split-level landing. The lower level of the landing leads to bedroom three and four and the family shower room. The upper level of the landing leads to bedrooms one and two and also has a large built-in storage cupboard. Forest Gate is a popular area with superb transport links, alongside great hospitality businesses, shopping and other leisure facilities. Wanstead Park Overground station and Forest Gate Elizabeth Line stations are both only a 10 minute walk and there are numerous bus services in the immediate area. The unique area of the Winchelsea Road Railway Arches is only a few minutes on foot, with its fashionable bars and restaurants, including The Wanstead Tap, Pretty Decent Beer, Wanstead Kitchen and Wild Goose Bakery.
