About Wanstead, Snaresbrook and Leytonstone
Having worked for Churchills across East London over the last 17 years, I’ve had the pleasure of covering Wanstead along with the surrounding areas and truly believe it’s a perfect location to call your home.Wanstead is a suburban area known for its leafy and tree lined streets, strong sense of local community, a balance of urban convenience and an abundance of open green spaces, making it an attractive and desirable place for all to live. Offering a wide array of period properties including Victorian, Edwardian and 1930’s homes, as well as a mix of newer developments throughout the area.The High street itself offers a wide variety of boutique shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants catering to all the local residents, whilst also featuring the beautiful Christchurch Green stretching alongside. The area is very much sought after with families and professionals seeking a quieter Village lifestyle, while still having easy access to central London thanks to the great transport links including Wanstead & Snaresbrook Central line tube stations ideally positioned at both ends of the High Street.One of the notable landmarks in the area is the idyllic Wanstead Park which is part of the larger Epping Forest, offering peaceful and stunning woodland along with tranquil lakes making it a perfect destination for a family day out. Wanstead Park is also home to historic features such as The Temple, The Grotto and the remains of Wanstead House, a grand mansion that was demolished in the 19th century.Furthermore, you have a great choice of local schools that have been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, the serene Hollow and Eagle Ponds and vast greenery of Wanstead Flats that is surrounded by the neighbouring areas of Leytonstone, Forest Gate and Manor Park, which now boasts an additional transport link into London via the popular Elizabeth line.If you are considering a move to Wanstead or it’s many bordering locations, I am very confident you will not be disappointed with your decision!Andy Binnington, Branch Manager
