Strone Road, Forest Gate

This beautifully finished three-bedroom Victorian home offers a wealth of features inside and out, from the smartly landscaped south-facing garden with studio at the rear to the artfully extended kitchen/diner and all the period detail throughout. As for the location, it’s just a short hop from the excellent amenities of Forest Gate and the greenery of Plashet Park, while public transport is excellent - there are several different stations within walking distance (Manor Park for the Elizabeth line and Woodgrange Park for the Overground).

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Approach that timeless frontage and step into your generous hallway, setting the tone for the considered spaces within. To the right, you’ll find your large dual aspect reception, complete with timber flooring underfoot, a thoughtful colour palette and bespoke shutters.

The kitchen/diner has more polished style, with sleek units and smart appliances that will be a joy to use. Open the bi-fold doors at the rear to access your artfully landscaped south-facing garden with a sun-trap patio and a lovely mix of mature foliage. There’s also a powered studio, which could be used in countless ways.

On your first floor, you have three immaculately designed bedrooms - including the master which has in-built storage and bespoke shutters, and a spacious family bathroom. Don’t forget your thoughtfully designed ground floor WC, too.

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 set 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....

"The house inside is beautifully laid out, with a lovely extension and bi-folds into a garden that gets lots of sun! We have plenty of space to host friends and family, and the whole property feels light and airy. We have added in lots of storage including putting a floor down in the attic, plus shelving and a ladder so it's easy to store seasonal stuff up there. We have also built an outside cabin which acts as a gym and gardening/tool storage area but could easily be made into an outdoor office. The Neighbourhood is quiet, we can walk to Plashet Park, West Ham, Wanstead Flats and Wanstead Park easily, whilst also having exceptional transport links - Elizabeth Line, District & Overground. It is also well situated for the direct train to Heathrow or Stansted. We love our house and wish we could move it with us."
