Tucked between the open skies of Wanstead Flats and the lively streets of Leyton, Leytonstone, Forest Gate, and Maryland, this recently renovated two-bedroom home offers a grounded, well-connected base with 727 square feet of space—all on one easy-to-navigate level. Set in a handsome double-fronted Victorian conversion, the home delivers character without the fuss. Inside, two well-sized double bedrooms, an extended open-plan kitchen/reception area, offer plenty of space. There’s also a cellar for those “where-do-we-put-this?” moments, and a private garden for the slower ones, when a cuppa and a bit of quiet is all you need. With the Central line, Elizabeth line, and Overground all within a mile, getting across London—or out of it—is refreshingly straightforward.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...
As you step through your own front entrance, a neat front garden greets you, lined with rose bushes and fragrant rosemary that follows you up a beautifully tiled path to the front door.

Inside, both double bedrooms sit at the front of the home, each occupying a side of the double frontage. Large bay windows draw in the morning light, bouncing off natural wooden floorboards and adding warmth to the space. Each room includes built-in wooden wardrobes that blend seamlessly into the surroundings, keeping things tidy without compromising on charm.

Beyond, the extended kitchen/reception room opens up into a generous, sun-soaked living space. With bifold doors, the boundary between indoors and out almost disappears. The kitchen runs in an L-shape with clean-lined, natural wood cabinetry and plenty of room left for a dining table or workspace, depending on your rhythm.

The garden is designed for ease and atmosphere—smart, simple, and west-facing for all-day sun. Burnt orange and soft oatmeal walls reflect the light, while a pergola at the tapered end offers built-in seating: a great spot for slow mornings or warm evenings.

The bathroom is stylish and modern with a freestanding claw-foot bath and rainhead shower combination for the best of both worlds. Natural light is cleverly provided by glass bricks and the sink is mounted on a chest of drawers for a touch of vintage charm.

The neighbourhood’s no less inviting. Winchelsea Road is just a short stroll away and full of places to eat, drink, and hang out—Pretty Decent Beer, The Wanstead Kitchen, Joyau Wine, and Wild Goose Bakery to name a few. Head north and you’ll hit Filly Brook, Heathcote & Star, and the Northcote - which will become your new favourite?

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We’ve loved living in this property as it’s such a good location for transport but also close to parks such as Wanstead Flats. We’ve renovated the flat over the years to make it really feel like a home."
