If you lived here...
You’ll love the sense of space in this Victorian conversion, carefully planned for comfortable living. The layout includes a bright reception, a generous dine-in kitchen, and a private west-facing garden, giving you a wider choice of living spaces.
The double bedroom is spacious, finished in bright decor with carpeting underfoot. The bathroom is equally modern, featuring sleek fittings, marble-style tiling and an over-tub shower.
The reception benefits from bay windows and crisp decor, while the kitchen offers contemporary units, integrated appliances and room for dining.
To the rear, the west-facing garden is a peaceful retreat, handily low-maintenance and enclosed on one side by brickwork for a sense of seclusion and charm.
Beyond, you’ll be delighted to find some fantastic amenities within strolling distance. Start with a walk to Wanstead Flats, ideal for dog-walkers, fitness fans and picnickers. On the way there, stop off at the Ramble Cafe for a coffee and cinnamon bun, or stroll a bit further to Winchelsea Road, a thriving hub with some fantastic eateries located in the old railway arches. Look out for Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen and Wild Goose Bakery, but you’re sure to uncover some gems of your own in this dynamic neighbourhood.

A word from the expert....
"When I decided to move to Forest Gate a few years ago, I was drawn by the great housing stock, the green spaces of Wanstead Flats and the friendly, up-and-coming vibe of independent boutiques, eateries, and bars.
I’ve spent many a happy weekend walking on the flats and in Wanstead Park. Often, i’ll finish up with an all-trimmings roast at The Holly Tree or meet friends for a drink at Joyau. Or perhaps a fantastic curry from The Wanstead Kitchen.
After living here for a while, you really start to feel happy and settled. I love the arty, independent feel of Forest Gate, and I get the impression i’m not the only one - it’s something all the locals nurture and support."
