A sleek and light-filled two-bedroom apartment set on the upper ground floor of the landmark Trebor sweet factory conversion, just around the corner from Upton Park Station. Positioned behind a secure communal entrance and offered chain free, this generously proportioned home blends Art Deco heritage with clean, contemporary interiors, all within easy reach of Plashet Park and the wider green spaces of East London.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

You would have around 700 square feet of well-balanced living space, with large factory-style windows running along the walls and drawing natural light into every room. The open plan kitchen and reception room stretches to over twenty-three feet, giving you clearly defined areas for cooking, dining and relaxing while still feeling connected. Sleek cabinetry is paired with soft grey metro tiles and timber flooring underfoot, creating a calm, modern backdrop that lets the architecture speak for itself.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each with generous proportions and wide windows that echo the building’s industrial past. The principal bedroom offers ample space for wardrobes, while the second room is equally versatile, ideal for guests or working from home. The bathroom is neatly finished and includes both a bath and separate walk-in shower, making day to day living easy and considered.

There is a real sense of openness throughout, helped by the elevated ground floor position and the building’s distinctive horizontal glazing. It is easy to imagine settling in here, with the scale and light more commonly found in warehouse style homes than typical London apartments.

WHAT ELSE...

Upton Park Station is just a short walk away for District and Hammersmith & City line services, connecting you directly to the City, the South Bank and beyond.

Plashet Park is moments away for green space, tennis courts and ornamental gardens, with West Ham Park also within comfortable walking distance.

Stratford is within three miles, placing Westfield and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park within easy reach for shopping, dining and weekend plans.

a word from the expert...

“Forest Gate is one of London’s best kept secrets. With great housing, wide green spaces on Wanstead Flats and a friendly atmosphere shaped by independent boutiques, cafés and bars, it has everything you would want in a neighbourhood. Weekends are easily filled with coffee and pastries from The Wild Goose Bakery, fresh pasta from Fiore Truck, dinner at Giovanna’s or a brilliant curry from The Wanstead Kitchen. A walk across Wanstead Flats or through Wanstead Park completes the perfect local day out. The Elizabeth line makes Forest Gate incredibly well connected, with Liverpool Street about 12 minutes away, Canary Wharf around 15 and Heathrow reachable directly in under an hour. This mix of character, community and convenience is a big part of its appeal. Most of all, Forest Gate has a creative, independent spirit and a strong sense of community that locals proudly nurture”.

Shaftesbury 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.
