Talbot Road, Forest Gate

Situated in North Forest Gate, just a short stroll from Wanstead Flats and Jubilee Pond, this three-bedroom Victorian terraced home has been impeccably refurbished and designed throughout. Highlights include the stunning kitchen/diner, bright reception, utility room, bathroom on each floor and landscaped garden with a veranda.

As well as all the greenery, the thriving hub of Winchelsea Road is mere metres away - and the perks of Leytonstone are easily accessible too. If you need to venture further, Forest Gate station is ten mins away, where the Elizabeth line can whisk you into central London at super-speed.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Step inside and you’ll see Victorian charm mixed with modern design across two well-planned floors. Think underfloor heating, column radiators, and high-spec sockets, alongside lovely original touches like coving and ceiling roses.

The spacious reception room has been beautifully designed, with its sash bay windows, immaculate decor, Bio Ethanol real flame fire and engineered parquet flooring. At the rear, the extended kitchen/diner is glorious, with touches such as under-floor heating, brass fittings, under-unit lighting, a double butler basin with a boiling/filter tap, 6 burner range cooker, wine cooler, integrated AEG appliances and herringbone tiling with shaker-style units contrasting wonderfully with the 30mm quartz worktops. There’s space for dining by the light filled bi-folding doors, as well as an informal breakfast bar set underneath pendant lighting.

Finishing off this floor, you also have a stunningly designed shower room, complete with brass fittings and under-floor heating, plus a utility room, a huge convenience in a modern home.

On the first floor you’ll find three stylish bedrooms, with more spotless decor and striking features such as the timber panelling at the front. The bathroom on this floor is just as stylish as the one below, with stylish terrazzo-style flooring and under-floor heating.

Step out into your lovingly secluded rear garden, where you’ll find a low maintenance lawn with custom beds and a water tight veranda with a sky light, lighting and power points, making it a lovely useable space in all seasons or just a great place to enjoy a morning coffee.

Because you’re nicely nestled between Leytonstone, Leyton and Forest Gate, you have plenty of choice when it comes to amenities. Winchelsea Road is a short hop on foot and has a winning selection of drinking and dining spots, including Pretty Decent Beer Company Tap Room, The Rookwood Village and Wild Goose Bakery. Or head north towards Leytonstone where you’ve got the much-lauded Homies on Donkeys, as well as other top rated restaurants.

You’ll never be stuck for essentials since there’s an abundance of convenience stores nearby, plus you’re only a short journey on the bus or tube for Westfield and the Olympic Park.

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 Joyau. 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."
