Palmerston Road, Forest Gate, London

A beautifully bright two bedroom raised ground floor flat, newly renovated and set within a handsome Victorian conversion in the heart of Forest Gate. Thoughtfully finished in a calm, contemporary palette, the home offers well-balanced living space, with a generous open plan kitchen, dining and reception room at its heart. Alongside the fresh decorative finish, the property has also undergone significant behind the scenes improvements, including a complete rewire, a completely new plumbing system, a brand new boiler and new sash windows throughout. Offered chain free and with the added rarity of off street parking, this is a stylish, straightforward move in a well connected East London setting.

The kitchen is neatly arranged in a sleek modern style, creating a sociable central room that feels bright and easy to live in.

The principal is a generous double, while the second bedroom offers welcome flexibility as a guest room, nursery or study. Set on the raised ground floor of this Victorian conversion, the apartment blends character with a crisp contemporary finish, while the practical upgrades including the full rewire, new plumbing system, new boiler and new sash windows bring real peace of mind.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"I renovated this flat as a real passion project. Living locally, I wanted to avoid the standard ‘grey box’ finish and craft a home to the exact standards I'd want for myself. It’s been completely renewed behind the scenes with all-new electrics, pipework and a new boiler. For finishes, I chose details I genuinely love: my favourite Farrow & Ball colours, Silestone worktops and beautiful kit-kat tiles. My absolute favourite thing is the light. Being east and west-facing, you get the morning sun with your coffee in the kitchen, and the sunset flooding the bedrooms in the evening.

The street has a lovely mix of families and genuinely welcoming neighbours. Forest Gate gets better every year, and you are spoilt for choice locally. Wild Goose Bakery is our go-to for bread, and Joyau is brilliant for natural wine. Gio’s does amazing pizza, while Fiore specialises in homemade pasta and an incredible set menu. To unwind, we regularly use E7 Movement for yoga and their sauna. A walk on Wanstead Flats is perfect in any weather, usually followed by a pint at The Holly Tree or Forest Tavern. Finally, being a five-minute walk from the Elizabeth Line changes everything; it’s easily London's best transport line. I hope the new owners will be very happy here."
