A WORD FROM THE OWNERS.....
"Harpenden Road is like living in the country yet part of the vibrant city of London! We have the beautiful Wanstead Park 3 minutes away with its lakes, river, woodland, tufts and grassland as well as a very welcome tea hut! . There are even cattle in certain months of the year! At the other end of our road is Wanstead Flats a vast expanse of heathland with wonderful sunsets. There are good transport links to Manor Park Station and Wanstead Tube is within a moderate walk or accessible by frequent multiple bus routes. Our home is a lovely Edwardian house which has been updated considerably since we bought it in 2017. We are only moving because we need more space for an older relative to come and live with us. It is a joy to sit in the garden early morning and evening to listen to the birds or watch the stars as night falls. It is a peaceful and friendly place to live."
