Talbot Road, Forest Gate

Brimming with personality and smartly reimagined, this extended three-bedroom Victorian terrace is ready for its next chapter. Spanning 1,157 sq ft, every inch has been carefully considered. Expect a spacious open-plan reception, a standout kitchen-diner, two stylish bathrooms, and a private garden that’s just waiting for summer.

It’s set in a lovely pocket of East London too—just a short wander from the open greenery of Wanstead Flats. Forest Gate Station (Elizabeth Line) and Wanstead Park (Suffragette Line) are both close by, so getting into town is a breeze, even if you’re running late.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

The smart brick frontage sets this beautiful Victorian family home situated in the sought-after Forest Gate 'Village Area'.

Walk through the door and you’ll feel it straight away—this isn’t just another open-plan reception. Pale chevron oak flooring leads you in, guiding the eye toward a large bay window that floods the room with light. At the front, an exposed brick wall adds a grounding contrast—warm, textured, and impossible to ignore. Toward the rear, an open archway draws the room into the kitchen, adding a sense of flow and light, while beading and a ceiling rose hint at the building’s heritage without overpowering it.

The kitchen? It’s a knockout. Muted sage cabinetry sits confidently against white tiled splashbacks, while brass fixtures add a gentle gleam. Integrated appliances keep things streamlined and fuss-free, while a run of skylights casts daylight across the space from above. Black-framed bifold doors fold back completely, making the garden feel like an extension of the kitchen—come summer, you won’t want to leave.

Tucked away at the back of the ground floor, the bathroom doesn’t shy away from making a statement. Petrol blue tiles run vertically in the shower, offset by matte black fittings that keep the mood bold but considered. It’s a space that balances attitude with polish.

Outside, the garden stretches a generous 42 feet—framed by natural timber fencing and full of potential. There's a stone patio just off the kitchen, made for early coffee rituals or slow evening chats. A neatly kept lawn offers softness underfoot, while a planted border snakes alongside, ready for whatever green-thumbed plans you might have.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms all soak in natural light thanks to big windows and clever orientation. The main bedroom at the front faces a peaceful, tree-lined street and features a brick chimney breast and soft honey tones that wrap the space in calm. The second bedroom continues the warm, welcoming vibe, while the third takes a moodier turn in deep blue, looking out over the garden below.

The upstairs bathroom picks up where the downstairs left off: vertical tiling, brushed brass finishes, and a rain shower over the bath. There’s even a matching heated towel rail—because some luxuries should be a given.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"This is a wonderful family home a short walk from the High Street and Wanstead flats. It's cosy, full of period features and our favourite has to be the microcement in the bathrooms. The landscaped garden there is very quiet and a serene way to spend any summer evening."
