1 Bedroom

1 Bath

Positioned on the third floor, this one-bedroom flat enjoys far-reaching views across the treetops of Wanstead Flats—a rare outlook that brings a real sense of space and calm. Inside, the reception features original wood flooring and a generous window framing the parkland beyond. The layout is simple and well maintained, with plenty of scope to add your own style. Whether you're after a peaceful retreat with greenery on your doorstep or an easy commute into the city, this home offers the best of both. Manor Park Station is just minutes away, connecting you to central London, while the surrounding area continues to grow with cafés, shops, and green space to explore.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Step into the hallway, where original floorboards add warmth and character right from the start. Immediately to your right, the bathroom is neatly positioned and well maintained, featuring classic fixtures, a full-size bath, and a window that brings in both natural light and ventilation. While it could benefit from a light modern refresh, the space remains in excellent condition overall.

The wood flooring continues into the reception room, where a large window frames leafy views over the treetops and the wide open expanse of Manor Park Flats. Light filters gently through, and a deep windowsill beneath provides space for decoration or storage—though you may prefer to leave it clear to fully enjoy the uninterrupted outlook.

The bedroom features a multi-paned casement window that opens to treetop views and allows for plenty of fresh air. A built-in cupboard offers practical storage, and the room itself is a clean, uncluttered space with a calm feel.
The kitchen is bright and practical, with a large window that fills the room with light. Terracotta floor tiles and built-in cabinetry lend a warm, traditional atmosphere, while an integrated oven and hob add convenience. A built-in cupboard helps keep the space tidy and organised. Though the style is more classic, the kitchen has been very well maintained and offers a solid base to personalise over time.

Manor Park is nestled within Wanstead Flats, the southern tip of the historic Epping Forest. This vast stretch of open land offers a rare sense of space in the city, with wide grassy commons, pockets of woodland, and walking paths that feel a world away from the urban pace. It’s an ideal setting for morning runs, weekend strolls, or simply watching the seasons change.

Just a short walk from the flat, Romford Road offers plenty of everyday convenience and a growing number of places to eat. You'll find everything from classic East End cafés and bakeries to South Asian restaurants, local takeaways, and independent spots serving fresh, home-style food. Whether you're grabbing something quick or looking for a laid-back evening meal, there’s plenty of choice close to home.

WHAT ELSE?

For transport, Manor Park Station is just a four-minute walk away, with fast and frequent Elizabeth line services that take you directly into Liverpool Street, the West End, and beyond. Around ten minutes on foot brings you to Woodgrange Park Station, part of the London Overground network, offering additional connections across East and North London.

a word from the expert...

"Manor Park is a unique, eclectic area, packed with Victorian tree lined streets. There’s a choice of great gastro pubs like TheForest Tavern and The Golden Fleece and to the north of the area, opens up to the green space of Wanstead Flats, a serene getaway leading away from the hustle and bustle of urban life up into Epping Forest. Wanstead Park itself, in the former grounds of Wanstead House, takes in walking trails, cycle paths and several ornamental lakes — a great place to relax, exercise and soak up some local history. The area also offers a vast array of transport links such as the Overground and Tube, and this has recently been vastly improved with the Elizabeth Line opening, offering swift transport across Central London and even out to Heathrow Airport."
