General Overview
Gorgeous little Victorian Cottage which is cosy but spacious at the same time. A little sanctuary which is so central and convenient to all amenities, but equally tucked away and peaceful. It's a short 5 minute stroll to the high street where you'll find lots of lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. We're also very close to both Snaresbrook (4 mins walk) and Wanstead (8 min walk) London underground Central line tube stations which take you directly into central London in 25 minutes. Locally, Wanstead Park is a beautiful parkland/forest which forms part of City of London's Epping Forest and is a 15-20 minute walk away from the cottage It has numerous beautiful trails and a little open air cafe within it by one of the lakes.
The Space
There is parking for one small car on the driveway. On the ground floor there is an open plan lounge/dining area with large windows which overlook the wrap-around front garden.
The kitchen has all the usual amenities as well as a small table and chairs and looks onto the courtyard. Downstairs there is a small shower room/toilet. Upstairs there are 2 small double bedrooms and one single bedroom. The bedrooms have a little wardrobe and drawer space apart from mine. Guests are welcome to use my room if they prefer, but will need to be aware that it will have all my things in it, so no wardrobe space. The main bathroom is also upstairs.
Guest Access
Guests can stay in any of the 3 bedrooms, but need to be aware that one of the small doubles which is my bedroom will have no wardrobe space. Although the children have left home, they still have some of their things in their bedrooms. but there is still some wardrobe and drawer space available in both rooms. Worth saying that one of the sofas in the lounge is a very comfy sofabed which we've used many times when there's been a few of us at family gatherings and parties.
