Woodford Road, Forest Gate

A light-filled, one bedroom ground floor apartment with an extended kitchen/diner and south-west-facing private garden - a covetable London feature. Transport links are handy, plus you're an acorn's throw away from Epping Forest to boot.

A four minute walk around the corner will bring you to the charming Forest Gate Arches, home to Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Tap and Wanstead Kitchen. Sneak a treat at the Wild Goose Bakery and check out the Holly Tree or the Rookwood Village, also fine contenders for your new local.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll be welcoming friends and family into your 150 square foot lounge with a bay window framing leafy street views, timber floorboards flowing underfoot and pristine white walls. Next door your bedroom's a solid 100 square foot, featuring hard-wearing carpet and a garden view.

Continue through the hallway and the bathroom's sleekly decked out in smart grey tiles with a shower over the tub and traditional white suite. Next up and your dual aspect kitchen/diner's a tempting prospect with a white metro tiled backsplash, Belfast sink and dining area overlooking the garden via bi-folding doors. Slide these open to step out onto your sunny outside space for a raised timber deck, lawn, fragrant lavender and raised beds.

Outside and transport's a cinch. You are minutes away from the Elizabeth Line and Overground. You'll be transported from Forest Gate station to The City in around fourteen minutes. Travel three stops from Wanstead Park via the Overground to join the Victoria Line at Blackhorse Road for speedy journeys into central London, or head in the opposite direction for Barking Riverside to jump on an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. Head to Stratford town centre or Westfield shopping centre also within easy reach. Finally you've got Forest Gate Village on your door step here so all your day-to-day needs are catered for.

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 meet friends for a drink at Burgess & Hall Wines (Roz and Paul there really know their grapes!). 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."
