General Overview
A bit about us, we are a young at heart retired couple in our early 60's. Our two boys have flown the nest and one of them has flown very far away and settled in Sydney Australia. We enjoy going on holidays and meeting people from different walks of life. We love animals and have a gorgeous dog called Vinnie who keeps us active with long walks. We have more time on our hands now and are not tied to school holidays etc so we are hoping that this site will work for us.
Our home is a
Beautiful terraced 3 bed Edwardian home in a leafy part of East London.
Lots of lovely restaurants ,coffee shops and some lovely British pubs !
We are very close to Queen Elizabeth Olympic park which holds lots of events throughout the year and for the nature lovers Epping Forest is a short drive away.
Great Transport links on the doorstep, 30 minute maximum into Central London
I will happily leave recommendations of where to go and what to visit during your stay
The Space
We essentially have 2 reception rooms both housing televisions, sofas etc and both have full access to Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon prime. For those visiting in the winter months we have a lovely log fire in one of the reception rooms which keeps things extra cozy. The rest of the house has central heating.
A separate kitchen, dining room, downstairs cloakroom and small utility area complete the downstairs. The back garden has a decked area and has a bbq shack ( hubby is a big enthusiast)
Middle floor has 2 large bedrooms each with king size and Suoer king sized beds, a family bathroom and a smaller room I currently use as a dressing room.
Top floor is another double bedroom ( king sized bed) and a small shower room
Guest Access
The house has 3 floors ( two sets of staircase) guests would have access too the whole house.
Notes
All the bedrooms have king sized beds so may not be suitable for children or adults that do not want to share depending on the amount of guests travelling. We can comfortably accommodate 6 guests (no single beds)
Although there is no off street parking there is plenty of parking on the street outside our house, Monday - Friday permits are needed which I will provide

Neighbourhood
Wanstead is a lovely area to live, showcasing a vibrant small high street with artisan coffee shops and restaurants in abundance and a real friendly ‘village’ feel.
Local bakeries. Butcher, fishmongers and grocers for your every day needs are on your doorstep.
We are also very fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful green open spaces, parks and woodlands where you can cycle or walk and enjoy watching the wildlife finishing off with a cup of English tea and delicious homemade cakes at the ‘tea hut’ within the park. If you’re lucky enough to visit during The month of May you will be greeted with a beautiful spectacle of bluebells which people come from all over to see,
Getting to my home
We have great transport links in Wanstead and surrounding stations, we are on a overground and a tube line and a bus stop practically outside our house.
Easy access from Stanstead which is a 25 minute drive away or Heathrow airport which is straight through on the Queen Elizabeth line ( this takes about an hour)
Nearest airport
Stanstead airport is approximately a 25 mins drive
Heathrow is approximately an hour by tube
Gatwick airport is also around an hour
All airports are served by coaches, trains and taxis
Getting Around
Most of your daily needs can be found in our local high street which is a pleasant 20-25 minute walk or alternatively a 7 minute bus ride with the bus stop a 30 second walk away! We are on numerous tube and train lines so to be honest it’s very simple to get around, nowhere is impossible!
