Odessa Road, Forest Gate

Full of character and clever design, this beautifully updated four-bedroom Victorian terrace gives you space to settle right in. With 1,190 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged living space, there’s plenty of room to live, relax, and entertain in the much sought-after ‘The Lanes’ location. Highlights include a generous double reception and a private 49 ft garden. 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. Offered chain-free for those keen to make this their new home.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Tucked into the heart of Forest Gate’s ever-popular ‘Lanes Area’, this elegant Victorian mid-terrace offers a rich blend of period character and thoughtful modern living.

Behind its distinctive yellow-brick frontage, you’re welcomed into a wide, open-plan reception with rich, original-style wooden flooring underfoot. At the front, a generous bay window draws in morning light, while striking cast-iron fireplaces with clean-lined white mantels provide focal points in both reception spaces—balancing charm and simplicity with ease.

The kitchen-diner is a bright, practical hub. White cabinetry and solid wood worktops provide ample space for cooking, storage, and conversation. A gas hob and double oven invite you to cook properly, while French doors open out to the garden, making alfresco dinners an easy option. A soft eau de nil palette adds freshness, complemented by hardwearing tiled floors and a separate WC just beyond.

The rear garden is private and surprisingly long—nearly 50ft. It’s split into two levels: a paved terrace straight off the kitchen for easy outdoor dining, and a raised, gravelled section lined with timber fencing, ready for planting or relaxing. There’s even a garden room at the back—perfect for bikes, tools, or off-season clutter.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are proper doubles, each filled with light thanks to generous windows. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house and looks out onto a quiet, tree-lined street. With twin windows facing west, it catches soft golden light well into the evening. The bathroom is clean and modern, with a full-size tub, overhead shower, and a vanity-mounted sink to keep things tidy.

Head up again, and the loft conversion offers a fourth bright and airy space, carpeted like the rest of the home for a sense of flow. There’s built-in storage, an ensuite with wet-room style shower, and a Velux window bringing light right where you need it.

This is a home that’s been cared for and well thought through—ready to be lived in, but with room for your own ideas too.

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 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."
