Set on a peaceful residential street in Forest Gate, this two bedroom Victorian terrace puts you within easy reach of both everyday convenience and some of East London’s best-loved spots. Forest Gate Station is close by for straightforward connections into town, Wanstead Flats is just a short walk away when you need open sky and green space, and the ever-popular Winchelsea Arches are nearby for coffee, food and a little local bustle.
IF YOU LIVED HERE....
You’d step through the classic brick frontage and into a home with a lovely sense of proportion from the outset. The first reception sits to the front, with a bay window drawing in the light and giving the room a warm, settled feel. Behind that, a second reception offers a more flexible living area, whether you need a dining room, second sitting room or work-from-home spot.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are genuine doubles, so there’s no compromise on comfort or versatility. The larger room spans the width of the house, while the second has a calm, tucked-away feel overlooking the street. The family bathroom sits to the rear, and outside the private garden offers a good balance of patio and planting, with space to sit, potter and make it your own over time. Offered chain free, this is a house with plenty of character and a layout that works beautifully for day-to-day living.
WHAT ELSE?
Forest Gate Station is within easy reach, so getting across London is pleasingly simple.
Wanstead Flats is just a short stroll away, offering wide open green space for weekend walks, runs and slower afternoons outdoors.

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”.

Our Local Guide:
Forest Gate
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.
