Godwin Road Forest Gate , E7 0LP

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Head through your eye-pleasing olive green door and into your beautifully finished hallway, where you can admire the sisal carpet runner and striking off-black colour palette. This is just a taste of things to come; your reception room is bright and brilliant, with painted flooring and two windows to ensure optimum light. This minimalist style is the perfect blank canvas if you want to add your own touches - or just sit back and enjoy the simplicity. The kitchen is just as sleek, with smart white units and integrated appliances. Contrasting wonderfully, the bathroom has bright yellow flooring, rustic-style tiles and a stylish black framed walk-in shower. It’s a show-stopper. Either side you’ll find two smartly decorated bedrooms. Back outside, just a few metres away you’ll come across the grounds of Wanstead Flats (Henry VIII’s favoured hunting ground no less), perfect for dog-walkers, fitness fans and picnickers. For more of an urban buzz, head 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, Wild Goose Bakery and Arch Rivals. In the other direction, to the south of Wanstead Flats, you’ll come across the Golden Fleece, a traditional pub with a beer garden, well-stocked menu and a great selection of locally brewed ales.
