Description

**Charming 2-Bedroom Terraced House with Garden & Extension Potential – Forest Gate, E7 8BN**

**Open House: Saturday 13th, 12–1pm (Strictly by Appointment Only)**

A wonderful opportunity to acquire this characterful 2-bedroom terraced home, ideally located in the heart of Forest Gate (E7), an area that continues to grow in popularity with families, first-time buyers, and investors alike.

This well-presented home offers spacious accommodation throughout and benefits from a good-sized garden, perfect for outdoor entertaining. With a full-width cellar, this property already provides ample storage and functional living space, but also holds exceptional potential for future development. Subject to planning permission, there is scope to extend into the loft and rear, making it an ideal home to grow into.

**Location Highlights:**
Forest Gate has become one of East London’s most desirable areas, offering the perfect mix of community feel, green spaces, and excellent connectivity. The property is within easy reach of Forest Gate Station (Elizabeth Line), providing direct and speedy links into Canary Wharf, the City, and Central London. Romford Road is just around the corner, offering numerous bus routes including night buses. Local parks, independent cafes, shops, and schools all add to the appeal of this vibrant neighbourhood.

**Owners’ Comments:**
“When we first saw Sylvan (as we call her), we loved the fact that this little house, which had belonged to the same family for some 100 years before we bought it, was both wonderfully peaceful but also extremely well located for public transport – with night buses (on the Romford Road) round the corner and Forest Gate station (on the Elizabeth Line) less than a 10 minute walk away. It meant we could have a house with a garden within half an hour of central London! We also loved that while it looked bijou from the outside, Sylvan felt like a Tardis on the inside – with all the rooms a really great size and a full width, usable cellar. We had plans for a side-return, an upstairs bathroom and a loft conversion but life had other plans and we are sorry to now have to say goodbye. Whoever takes her on next is sure to love her too!”
