Trumpington Road Forest Gate , E7 9EJ

IF YOU LIVED HERE…
The entrance opens into a hallway, from which the reception can be accessed, and the staircase rises to the first floor. The reception stretches through two areas, lending itself to both living and dining. A bay window fills the front with light, while a traditional fireplace provides a focal point. Flowing towards the kitchen, it forms an adaptable backdrop with potential to be reimagined as a warm family space or inviting setting for guests.

The kitchen follows in a galley style with fitted cabinetry and tiled flooring, complemented by a side window drawing in light. Here lies a real opportunity (STPP) to open into the lean-to and bathroom, transforming the rear of the house into a generous kitchen-dining area with wide doors spilling out onto the garden. The bathroom, finished with full-height tiling, benefits from a frosted window for privacy and has space to accommodate a bath if preferred. The lean-to links directly to the garden, its glazed side and doorway offering an appealing transition outside.

The garden extends around 10 metres, laid mostly to lawn with raised borders, established planting, and a terrace ideal for seating. At the far end, an outbuilding provides useful storage or the possibility for further use.

Upstairs, the landing connects three bedrooms and includes a built-in storage cupboard. The principal bedroom, generous in scale, features twin windows and awaits redecoration to unlock its potential. The second room is flexible, offering excellent scope for personalisation as a comfortable bedroom or home office. The third overlooks the garden, its straightforward layout and wood-effect flooring providing another opportunity to shape the room to individual taste.

The surrounding neighbourhood blends green space with a lively community feel. Just a five-minute walk brings you to the popular Railway Arches, home to independent favourites such as Joyau, Giovanna’s Deli & Wine, and the Wild Goose Bakery, perfect for coffee and relaxed dining. Forest Gate’s “Lanes” add further character, with independent shops and cafés creating a vibrant village-like atmosphere. For a welcoming pub, The Holly Tree is close at hand, known for its family-friendly appeal and charm. Those who enjoy the outdoors will appreciate Wanstead Flats, offering wide open spaces for weekend strolls or more energetic pursuits. Families are also well catered for, with excellent local schools including the outstanding Earlham Primary School.
