Set across two floors, this freshly renovated one-bedroom maisonette forms part of a charming Victorian conversion on sought-after Winchelsea Road, right in the heart of Forest Gate’s popular ‘Lanes’ area. Stylishly finished throughout, the interiors are bright and modern with a neutral palette, while exposed beams and vaulted ceilings bring a touch of character and warmth. Just moments from the wide green spaces of Wanstead Flats and with excellent local connections, this chain-free home offers a peaceful retreat in a vibrant, well-connected neighbourhood.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Renovated with modern living in mind, this beautifully finished apartment offers comfort, space and style across two levels.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a generous double bedroom and a sleek, contemporary bathroom—both immaculately presented with quality fittings. Upstairs, the dual-aspect open-plan kitchen and living space is impressively spacious, with smart flooring running the length of the room to enhance the airy feel. Whether you’re relaxing, working, or entertaining, this versatile space has you covered. The kitchen is as practical as it is stylish, with smart cabinetry, sleek worktops and glossy tiling completing the modern look.

Tucked between several thriving East London neighbourhoods, you’re perfectly placed for an abundance of amenities. Right on your doorstep is Winchelsea Road, home to a fantastic lineup of local favourites including Pretty Decent Beer Taproom, Joyau wine bar, The Rookwood Village, and Wild Goose Bakery. Head north towards Leytonstone and you’ll uncover even more culinary gems like Homies on Donkeys, Mum Likes Thai Food, and Panda Dim Sum.

When it’s time to walk it all off, the wide-open green space of Wanstead Flats—once Henry VIII’s hunting ground—is just moments away, ideal for runners, dog walkers and weekend picnickers alike.

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."
