Description

*PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED* Petty Son & Prestwich are excited to market this impressive plot which benefits from planning permission for a substantial detached residence, with the proposed frontage spanning approximately 20 feet in width, widening to a maximum of around 60 feet and extending to an overall depth of roughly 130 feet.

The approved plans envision an exceptional family home comprising five bedrooms (four of which are doubles), alongside three bathrooms, guest W.C., formal reception room, and impressive open-plan family kitchen and living space complete with a separate utility room.

Positioned within the highly sought-after Counties Estate in Wanstead, Buckingham Road takes its name from the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This prestigious address forms part of an exclusive collection of elegant homes set within a charming leafy conservation area, where beautifully preserved Edwardian architecture and picturesque tree-lined avenues create one of Wanstead’s most desirable residential settings. Wonderfully peaceful yet exceptionally well connected, the plot enjoys a prime position within easy reach of Wanstead Station (0.5 miles) and Snaresbrook Station (0.7 miles), offering swift and convenient access into Central London.

The property is also ideally placed for a superb selection of highly regarded local schools and nurseries. Within close proximity are Nightingale Primary School and The Grove Montessori Nursery (both 0.5 miles away), along with Wanstead Church School (around 0.6 miles) - Each is recognised by Ofsted with ratings of Good or Outstanding, making the area particularly appealing for families seeking exceptional educational options.

Further details and the approved plans can be viewed via the planning portal of London Borough of Redbridge under the relevant planning reference 0452/25.

An Anti-Money Laundering fee will be applicable to all purchasers at a cost of £18.00 + VAT per person.
