IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Every detail of this home has been approached with care, resulting in a restoration that feels both meticulous and timeless. The interiors are immaculate, designed to retain their quiet sense of wow for years to come.

A vintage-tiled pathway leads you into a generous hallway, setting the tone for the considered spaces within. To the left, you’ll find your double reception, complete with original timber flooring underfoot and a rich colour palette. Bespoke joinery, column radiators and fireplace alcoves lend further charm. The two rooms hold distinct character yet connect seamlessly together as one.

At the rear, the kitchen-diner extension is stunning example of architectural design. A central island anchors the space, while the generous proportions allow for more formal dining. Light floods in from the generous sliding pocket doors, showcasing the bespoke cabinets and exposed brickwork to create a hygge feeling of Scandi warmth.

On your first floor, you have two immaculately designed bedrooms, and a stunning family bathroom. In the loft you’ll find your master, with an elegant ensuite and walk-through wardrobe, alongside a further bedroom finished to the same high standard.

At the rear, you’ve got your artfully landscaped south-facing garden with a sun-trap patio and a lovely mix of mature foliage. There’s also a fully powered and plumbed studio at the rear, currently used as a gym.

Beyond, you’ll be delighted to find some fantastic amenities within strolling distance. Start with a walk to Wanstead Flats (Henry VIII’s favoured hunting ground), ideal for dog-walkers, fitness fans and picnickers. On the way there, stop off at the Ramble Cafe for a coffee and cinnamon bun, or stroll a bit further to Winchelsea Road, a thriving hub with some fantastic eateries located in the old railway arches. Look out for Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen and Wild Goose Bakery, but you’re sure to uncover some gems of your own in this dynamic neighbourhood.

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."
