Horace Road, Forest Gate, Newham, London

Situated on a highly sought-after street within the Village Area of Forest Gate is this striking end-of-terrace Victorian family home, offered for sale with no ongoing chain.

The property has an attractive Victorian façade, enhanced by a mature wisteria which flowers twice a year, creating an impressive display across the front of the house when in bloom.

Upon entering, the welcoming hallway provides access to all ground-floor accommodation, stairs rising to the first floor and a door leading to the cellar. The cellar extends beneath the full footprint of the ground floor, providing a substantial amount of additional storage space. To the front of the property is the first reception room, featuring impressive sash bay windows which allow an abundance of natural light into the room. The room retains a wealth of decorative features, including coving, ceiling rose, dado rail and fireplaces. The second reception room continues the property's period character with matching features and a door leading to the rear lean-to. The dividing wall between the two reception rooms could potentially be removed to create an open-plan through lounge, depending on the purchaser's preferred layout and subject to any necessary structural requirements or consents. The lean-to provides access directly onto the street as well as to the rear garden. The spacious ground-floor family bathroom comprises a walk-in shower cubicle, low-level WC, wash hand basin, tiled walls and tiled flooring. To the rear of the property is the generously proportioned kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of wall and base-level wooden cabinetry, an oven with gas hob and ample space for a dining table and chairs. French doors provide direct access onto the rear garden. The garden extends to approximately 30'0" and features a decked seating area bordered by flower beds.

To the rear is a useful garage with direct access onto the street, providing excellent additional storage and a practical space separate from the main house.

Rising to the first floor, the landing provides access to all bedrooms and the family bathroom. All bedrooms are generously proportioned and capable of accommodating double beds, with multiple windows providing excellent levels of natural light. The first-floor family bathroom incorporates a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower cubicle, low-level WC, wash hand basin and tiled walls and flooring. A further significant benefit of the property is the approved loft conversion scheme. Detailed architectural drawings have been prepared showing the creation of two additional bedrooms, approximately 11.6m² and 8.9m², together with an en-suite, landing and storage, incorporating rear dormers and rooflights. The drawings confirm those proposed room sizes and configuration. Structural calculations have also been prepared specifically for construction works at 31 Horace Road by PorthouseDean Structural Engineers. The approved scheme provides an incoming purchaser with the opportunity to significantly increase the existing accommodation and create additional bedroom and bathroom space without having to start the design and planning process from the beginning. Copies of the plans and supporting documentation can be made available to interested purchasers.

Horace Road benefits from its proximity to Forest Gate station on the Elizabeth Line, offering fast connections to Liverpool Street, with Wanstead Park Overground also nearby, providing further travel options across East London.
The area is vibrant and well served by a variety of independent cafés, restaurants and local favourites, including The Wild Goose Bakery, E7 Movement fitness studio, The Can Club family-friendly café and play zone, Fiore's Italian eatery, Tipi Coffee Co., Pretty Decent Beer Co. and the award-winning Holly Tree pub.
The property also benefits from being within the catchment area for the highly regarded Woodgrange Infant School and Godwin Junior School.

With its end-of-terrace position, original Victorian features, generous accommodation, full-footprint cellar, rear garden and garage with street access, together with the approved loft conversion scheme, the property offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser looking for a substantial family home with further scope to increase the living accommodation.

Viewings will be taking place on Saturday 22nd August 2026. Please call to arrange an appointment.
