A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

Living in Forest Gate has really been about family for us. Born and raised here, we moved into this beautiful home to be close to our parents. Over the years, we’ve built a wonderful community of friends, many of whom feel like extended family.

We’ve been lucky with fantastic neighbours - who have become lifelong friends - and our house is tucked away at the quieter end of Trumpington Road. At the same time, we’re just a short walk from Pretty Decent Beer Company and the lively Winchelsea Road; and only a couple of minutes from Wanstead Flats — such a beautiful and peaceful hidden gem of London.

Forest Gate has a real village feel, with plenty of cafes and a strong community spirit. It’s the perfect mix of exciting, fashionable, calm, family-friendly living with a vibrant local culture that has made this such a lovely place to call home. We are so sad to be leaving Forest Gate, especially as all the new arrivals are bringing such a buzz and energy to the area.

We hope whoever buys our beautiful home will enjoy living here as much as we have.
