Unfolding over three floors, this architecturally stunning four-bedroom Victorian home offers a wealth of features inside and out, from the smartly landscaped south-facing garden with fully powered studio at the rear to the artfully extended kitchen/diner and impressive loft conversion with en-suite.

As for the location, itโ€™s just a short hop from the excellent amenities of Forest Gate and the greenery of Plashet Park, while public transport is excellent, with four different station within walking distance (Forest Gate, Manor Park, Woodgrange Par and Upton Park).

IF YOU LIVED HEREโ€ฆ

Every detail of this home has been approached with care, resulting in a restoration that feels both meticulous and timeless. The interiors are immaculate, designed to retain their quiet sense of wow for years to come.

A vintage-tiled pathway leads you into a generous hallway, setting the tone for the considered spaces within. To the left, youโ€™ll find your double reception, complete with original timber flooring underfoot and a rich colour palette. Bespoke joinery, column radiators and fireplace alcoves lend further charm. The two rooms hold distinct character yet connect seamlessly together as one.

At the rear, the kitchen-diner extension is stunning example of architectural design. A central island anchors the space, while the generous proportions allow for more formal dining. Light floods in from the generous sliding pocket doors, showcasing the bespoke cabinets and exposed brickwork to create a hygge feeling of Scandi warmth.

On your first floor, you have two immaculately designed bedrooms, and a stunning family bathroom. In the loft youโ€™ll find your master, with an elegant ensuite and walk-through wardrobe, alongside a further bedroom finished to the same high standard.

At the rear, youโ€™ve got your artfully landscaped south-facing garden with a sun-trap patio and a lovely mix of mature foliage. Thereโ€™s also a fully powered and plumbed studio at the rear, currently used as a gym.

Beyond, youโ€™ll be delighted to find some fantastic amenities within strolling distance. Start with a walk to Wanstead Flats (Henry VIIIโ€™s favoured hunting ground), 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 youโ€™re sure to uncover some gems of your own in this dynamic neighbourhood.

a wordย fromย the expert...

"When I decided to move to Forest Gate a few years ago, I was drawn byย theย great housing stock,ย theย green spaces of Wanstead Flats andย theย friendly, up-and-coming vibe of independent boutiques, eateries, and bars.ย Iโ€™ve spent many a happy weekend walking onย theย flats and in Wanstead Park. Often, Iโ€™ll finish up with an all-trimmings roast atย Theย Holly Tree or meet friends for a drink at Joyau. Or perhaps a fantastic curryย fromย Theย Wanstead Kitchen. After living here for a while, you really start to feel happy and settled. I loveย theย arty, independent feel of Forest Gate, and I getย theย impression Iโ€™m notย theย only one โ€” itโ€™s something allย theย locals nurture and support." ย  JOSEPH EARNSHAW E7 BRANCH MANAGER

Our Local Guide:
Forest Gate

Bristol Road, Forest Gate — Stow Brothers

If youโ€™ve already heard Chiwetel Ejiofor or Idris Elba proudly discussing their hometown, you probably donโ€™t need us to convince you of Forest Gateโ€™s merits, but for those who havenโ€™t, let us catch you upโ€ฆ

With a heritage rooted in culture, itโ€™s not surprising that Forest Gate has a strong creative community today. During just one week in the 60s, the Upper Cut Club music venue there hosted – deep breath – The Who, the Animals, the Spencer Davis Group, Geno Washington and Jimi Hendrix. These days youโ€™re more likely to find the areaโ€™s artistic-types supping drinks in the cool cafes and bars. Along with the period property and proximity to green space, this independent scene has been the main draw for new arrivals to the area, although the fact that Forest Gate is now on the Crossrailโ€™s Elizabeth line has definitely helped nudge people in the right direction.
