IF YOU LIVED HERE…
The property’s dark-painted façade gives it a distinctive edge, complemented by matching window frames and a streamlined front door. Subtle detailing enhances its period character, while the overall design feels bold yet inviting, setting the tone for the home within.
Inside, a hallway with understairs storage leads into an impressive open-plan reception room. This generous space flows naturally from front to back, filled with light and framed by wide-plank flooring and pale walls. French doors open directly onto the garden, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. The adjoining kitchen continues the airy, contemporary feel, with crisp white finishes, twin windows and a glazed door offering easy access to the outside space. Beyond, the bathroom pairs soft white tiling with contrasting fixtures and a full-sized bath, creating a calm and elegant atmosphere.
Mature trees frame the outdoor space beautifully, offering privacy and a sense of seclusion. The paved terrace invites relaxed dining, while the raised lawn draws the eye towards the studio at the far end. Surrounded by greenery, this space feels both open and sheltered, a peaceful retreat that balances nature and city living. The studio itself is bright and versatile, ideal as a workspace, creative hub or simply a quiet place to unwind.
Moving upstairs, the landing includes built-in storage and leads to three inviting bedrooms. Each features fitted storage, soft tones and plenty of light, with the main room offering generous proportions. The shower room completes the layout, finished in stone-effect tiling for a refined, understated look.
The surrounding area offers a vibrant mix of independent cafés, green spaces and family-friendly spots. Just a short stroll away, the Forest Gate Railway Arches host local favourites such as Ramble Café, Joyau and Wanstead Kitchen, a lively stretch lined with artisan coffee, global flavours and a warm neighbourhood energy. The Holly Tree pub adds to the community feel, offering a welcoming space for families and friends alike. Forest Lane Park, with its playground and open lawns, provides a peaceful pocket of nature close to home, while the vast expanse of Wanstead Flats invites long walks and outdoor adventures. Excellent local schools, including the outstanding Earlham Primary, make this a particularly appealing area for families.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...
Forest Gate is one of London’s best-kept secrets. With its great housing stock, the wide-open green spaces of Wanstead Flats, and a friendly, up-and-coming vibe shaped by independent boutiques, eateries, and bars, it has all the ingredients of a truly special neighbourhood.
Weekends here are easily filled with morning coffee and pastries at The Wild Goose Bakery, fresh pasta from Fiore Truck, or a cosy dinner at Giovanna’s (or a fantastic curry from The Wanstead Kitchen). Pair that with a walk across Wanstead Flats or through Wanstead Park, and you have the perfect local day out.
Thanks to the Elizabeth line, Forest Gate is brilliantly connected. Liverpool Street is just 12 minutes away, Canary Wharf around 15, and Heathrow can be reached directly in under an hour. It is this mix of character, community and convenience that makes the area so appealing.
Above all, Forest Gate has an arty, independent feel and a strong sense of community that the locals actively nurture and support, giving the area its unique charm.
