2 Bedroom

Large Rear Garden

Set in a prime location in Forest Gate, this two-bedroom period home benefits from having a spacious layout, large through-reception, private rear garden, dressing room and charming period features throughout.

Wanstead Flats is a 10 minute stroll from the front door, as is Forest Lane Park. As for eateries, the thriving hub of Winchelsea Road is less than half a mile away. If you need to venture further, thanks to the Elizabeth line you could be in the city in 20 mins if you time it right - an impressive commute indeed.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

This lovely 788 square foot property has all the makings of a dream home with its enviable position near Wanstead Flats and spacious layout. In your dual aspect through-reception, you’ll be delighted by the light that spills through the generous windows - and you’ll love the charming way that the ‘passe-plat’ opens up the entire space with a nod of separation. There are plenty of period features, such as the fireplace alcoves and dado rail on the stairway, too.

The kitchen area is smart and modern, with marble-style worktops and inky blue units, and the bathroom at the rear is bright and spacious with traditional fittings and an over-tub shower. When the sun is shining, you’ll love heading out into your rear garden. As well as the spacious lawn, you’ve got storage from the shed and extra space from the side return. Back inside, head up to the first floor for two spacious double bedrooms, both immaculate in style - and the rear one even has its own dressing room.

When you’re ready to leave your new home, you’ll be delighted to find some fantastic amenities nearby. Start with a stroll to Wanstead Flats (Henry VIII’s favoured hunting ground), which is ideal for dog-walkers, fitness fans and picnickers. Hungry? Head to Winchelsea Road, a thriving hub with some fantastic eateries located in the old railway arches - about seven mins on foot. Look out for Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen and Wild Goose Bakery.

WHAT ELSE?

- Forest Gate station is around three minutes on foot, where you can use the Crossrail to get directly to Liverpool Street in about 13 mins or Bond St in 19 mins. Wanstead Park is just slightly further for the Suffragette line of the London Overground.
- Parents will be pleased to know you have a choice of good primary and secondary schools in the area.
-You’ll never be stuck for essentials since there’s an abundance of convenience stores nearby, plus you’re only a short four minute hop on the Elizabeth line from Stratford for Westfield and the Olympic Park.

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 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."   JOSEPH EARNSHAW E7 BRANCH MANAGER

Our Local Guide:
Forest Gate

Forest Lane, Forest Gate — Stow Brothers

If you’ve already heard Chiwetel Ejiofor or Idris Elba proudly discussing their hometown, you probably don’t need us to convince you of Forest Gate’s merits, but for those who haven’t, let us catch you up…

With a heritage rooted in culture, it’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 you’re more likely to find the area’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 Crossrail’s Elizabeth line has definitely helped nudge people in the right direction.

Transport links

With trains running every ten minutes, the Overground can get you to Liverpool Street in 13 minutes. In the south, Plaistow is on the District and Hammersmith & City tube lines, and the Crossrail will get you to Tottenham Court Road in just 17 minutes.

Great Pubs

Wine bars, gastro pubs, microbrews, traditional boozers… With so many drinking establishments in Forest Gate, taking ‘a trip to the local’ can be a tricky decision. The CiderHouse, The Holly Tree and Forest Gate Tavern are just a few of the places to choose between.

Plenty of period property

Forest Gate has an abundance of Victorian housing, ranging from terraces in the area dubbed ‘Forest Gate Village’ to semis and detached in the Woodgrange Estate conservation area. Whether you’re after a doer-upper or recently renovated period property, there should be something for your budget.
