IF YOU LIVED HERE

Step inside and you’re welcomed into the first of two reception rooms—bright and inviting thanks to a large bay window that lets in plenty of natural light. On the other side of the central staircase, you’ll find a second, more spacious reception room measuring 133 sq ft. This flexible space could easily serve as a dining room, second lounge, or open-plan family area. There's also handy understairs storage, perfect for keeping day-to-day clutter out of sight.

The kitchen is ready for a refresh, offering a great foundation to work with. It currently features pale wood cabinetry, grey countertops, and a biscuit-and-denim blue chequered tile splashback. There’s space for all essential appliances, and a window over the sink brings in extra light and a view of the garden.

Step out of the back door and you’ll find a private, west-facing garden enclosed by natural wood fencing. It’s a blank canvas with real potential—whether you're dreaming of a low-maintenance patio, lush lawn, raised beds, or a mix of zones for relaxing and entertaining, the space is ready to be shaped to your taste.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized doubles. The principal bedroom at the front spans 133 sq ft and features twin windows overlooking the quiet residential street, making the room feel bright and airy. The second bedroom, facing the rear, is 102 sq ft and looks out over greenery—ideal for a peaceful night’s sleep or a calm work-from-home setup.

The bathroom is also conveniently located on the first floor, which isn’t always the case in properties of this style.

This is a home full of potential, with solid bones and original proportions. With a little care and imagination, it could be transformed into something really special, perfect for those looking to create a space that truly reflects their own style.

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." JOSEPH EARNSHAW E11 BRANCH MANAGER

Our Local Guide:
Forest Gate

Odessa Road, 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.
